Humboldt County Airport to partner with Lyft for ridesharing

ARCATA, Calif. — The Humboldt County Aviation Department and Lyft announced Monday that a new partnership will offer rideshare services to and from the California Redwood Coast Humboldt County Airport (ACV).

The Board of Supervisors approved the collaboration at a recent meeting. For each ride, be it a pick-up or drop-off, the Department of Aviation will receive a $2 fee.

“Expanding to ridesharing services with this new partnership with Lyft is an exciting step forward to better serve our passengers as we continue to work to expand air service at ACV," Director of Aviation for the County of Humboldt Cody Roggatz said.

The new service will join other services for passengers, such as taxis and shuttles to and from the airport.

Back in August 2021, the board approved Project SOAR, which would enhance ACV and allow the airport to collaborate with local rideshare services and taxi companies. Other services currently in discussion are expanded rental car services and increased airport parking capacity.
