"The sweeping anti-trans bill, SB244, bans trans and non-binary Kansans from using public toilets and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity and invalidates state-issued driver's licenses, identification cards and birth certificates for holders whose gender marker does not mark their sex assigned at birth."
"Researchers have said that the ID ban in Kansas, one of the first states to invalidate state-issued identification documents that were legally obtained, will have huge health and social consequences."
"At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect, which means that we want to help everyone get to the people and places they love - no matter who they are or where they come from."
Kansas enacted SB244, legislation that invalidates state-issued driver's licenses, identification cards, and birth certificates for trans and non-binary individuals whose gender markers don't match their sex assigned at birth. The law also restricts bathroom and locker room access based on assigned sex. Researchers warn this ID ban will create significant health and social consequences. In response, Lyft launched a support initiative offering 50% discounted rides to trans and non-binary Kansans using code TRANSJOY, valid through March 9 with a $10 maximum discount. Lyft also expanded its 2023 gender-inclusive safety feature to additional cities, allowing users to match with same-gender or non-binary riders and drivers.
