The ride-sharing firm Lyft announced two moves Wednesday to help it hire more Salt Lake area drivers — including people who don’t own cars and those who need help to drive more environmentally friendly vehicles.
The San Francisco-based company opened a new local headquarters in what was once an old gas station owned by Rocky Mountain Power for company vehicles in its campus around a power plant on North Temple at 1300 West — and announced a partnership with that company to convert the facility into a charging station there for Lyft drivers with electric cars.
“Electric vehicle-charging stations will be installed to support our growing fleet of electric vehicles as part of Lyft’s Green Cities Initiative,” said Jeremy Neigher, Lyft’s Utah market manager.
