Editor's Notes

Hey, here's a quick update: The City of Baltimore is extending a program to provide $2.50 Lyft rides for residents to grocery stores through August 31.

 

According to Mayor Bernard C. "Jack" Young office, the Grocery Access Program has been an "especially valuable and critical resource during the pandemic." The pilot is providing rides to 16 grocery stores in West and South Baltimore who live in areas that lack access to fresh food.
