Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - The City of North Las Vegas has partnered with the ridesharing company Lyft to offer free rides to and from North Las Vegas vaccination sites. The program requires North Las Vegas residents to create a Lyft account, which they will use to schedule the ride.

To receive the code, residents can call the library team at 702-623-2136 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Thursday. Staff will be available to explain the program to them and provide them with the ride code.

To be eligible for the program, proof of North Las Vegas residency and verification of a vaccine appointment scheduled at a North Las Vegas site is required. Staff can either assist them in making the appointment or verify on the state's system that they already have a scheduled appointment.

Appointments are available this week for anyone age 16 and over at the City’s vaccination POD at CSN North Las Vegas. Go to vaxnlv.com or call 1-800-401-0946 to make an appointment.
