Transportation Options

LYFT Pass & LYFT Concierge

MIDB offers Lyft rides (use your MIDB Lyft Pass ) for staff and select students within the campus coverage area during the eligible time windows. We have also implemented a Lyft Concierge program that allows units or research studies to send rides to pick up research participants and bring them to the MIDB for research sessions, as well as bring them back home.

In addition, the MIDB is now home to the Evie Carsharing Service. Dedicated parking is now on-site in the front of the building for all one-way trips. Stay tuned for more information on this service and promotional opportunities for new users.
