  • For Immediate Release
    For Immediate Release Terrapass scores touchdown with Lyft to Offset Carbon Emissions at University of Michigan Football Games Houston, Texas – October 6, 2017: Terrapass, a member of the Just Energy Group, and a leader in the fight against climate change, has partnered with Lyft, the fastest growing on-demand transportation service in the US, to offset carbon emissions associated with travel for all University of Michigan football games for the 2017/2018 season. Michigan Stadium, located in Ann Arbor, is the largest stadium in the United States and home to the Michigan Wolverines. It’s also the second largest stadium in the world. Patrons travelling to the stadium can play an important part in helping the environment simply by selecting Lyft as their choice of transportation to and from the venue for football games. Every single Lyft ride in Ann Arbor on game day will be balanced with carbon offsets that terrapass will purchase. In fact, terrapass will not only offset travel in Ann Arbor during Michigan football home games, but away games, as well. The carbon offsets will be sourced from a local project, the South Kent Landfill in Byron Center, MI. For the Michigan Wolverine’s first home game, Lyft offset more than 10,000 miles! "We realize that game day can put a large strain on the physical environment of Ann Arbor, and we want to do our part to reduce the impact. Lyft believes in the power of rideshare to not only reduce congestion, but build community. We’re proud to partner with terrapass to help the Ann Arbor community while reinforcing to passengers that it matters how you get there, said Elliot Darvick, General Manager for Lyft in Southeast Michigan.

  • The PEUGEOT 2008 DKR Clocks up Testing Kilometres in France
    The PEUGEOT 2008 DKR clocks up testing kilometres in France As the countdown to the 2015 Dakar Rally begins to accelerate, the Peugeot- Total squad is continuing to develop the fearsome PEUGEOT 2008 DKR at a frenetic pace with its three star drivers, including Cyril Despres, who is getting to grips with competing on four wheels for the first time. From 7am, Team Peugeot-Total is in action. Like a commando unit on a mission, the mechanics invade the test centre at Château Lastours, where the PEUGEOT 2008 DKR is about to begin a new phase of its development – generating impatience and anticipation in equal measure. Every single minute counts. For the first time, the three crews that constitute Peugeot’s dream team will all take turns behind the wheel. Following shakedown tests at Freneuse, Montlhéry and Creusot elsewhere in France, the beast now has the opportunity to demonstrate its mettle across rocky terrain that offers a foretaste of the kind of adventure that awaits it in South America. Now that Carlos Sainz has drawn upon his experience to identify the inevitable initial teething troubles, his two new team-mates have also come along to help out. On the programme is validation of the modifications made to the chassis and cooling system. Stéphane Peterhansel settles into the high-perched cockpit of his new mount. The French multiple Dakar winner wastes little time in heading towards this track, which represents a real challenge – even for a vehicle that aspires to the life of a trailblazer. As the kilometres pass by, Stéphane confesses to experiencing a genuine culture shock: “Switching over to two-wheel-drive changes everything!” he cheerfully reflects.

  • Painting the Future
    Stanford eCorner Painting the Future Ann Miura-Ko, Floodgate 26-08-2020 URL: https://ecorner.stanford.edu/in-brief/painting-the-future/ Stanford Management Science and Engineering lecturer and Floodgate founding partner Ann Miura-Ko explains why she made a crucial early investment in Zimride, which later became Lyft. Founders John Zimmer and Logan Green, she recalls, were able to paint a compelling vision of the future in which better transportation options would enable more efficient communities. Transcript - Back in, I think it was 2010 00:00:07,700 is when John and Logan came to pitch Floodgate on what was originally called Zimride.. And Zimride was a platform that enabled carpooling for corporations, as well as universities.. And the vision of the world that they actually painted, actually describes a lot of what Lyft does today.. And so this is sort of a good example of mission-driven founders who really believe in a vision of the future, and how that transcends different products.. So the message that John and Logan came to Floodgate with in the early days, was look, we believe actually transportation is about to change.. The fact that we have social networks now, and people can be connected to one another digitally actually implies something really fundamentally different.. And when transportation changes, actually the world changes.. And they demonstrated this in just the United States alone, if you look at the fabric of society, you would have canals, you would have railways, and then you would have highways.. And if you just look at the map of where cities developed, it was very true that waterways, railways, and highways were actually the ways in which cities were created.
