It is Bolt’s goal to provide transportation to all. Bolt Forward is our equity transportation program specifically designed to aid persons from underserved areas as well as military personnel. Through Bolt Forward, residents are able to afford our service based on their earned income or military status.
To achieve this, Bolt will pay it forward. Bolt will offer 50%* off to persons who qualify for our discount program. If you served in the military or are trying to make ends meet, contact us to see if you qualify. It starts with one ride at a time.
