Transportation
New this year! TLA is going green and offering a more flexible transportation option for attendees staying at official TLA conference hotels more than 0.1 miles from the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. All registered attendees staying at specified hotels booked via onPeak will receive $30 in Lyft credits to use during the conference. Download the Rideshare flyer
How does it work?
A unique code for up to $30 credit towards Lyft rides will be sent to each eligible attendee; directly to the email address used when booking the hotel reservation. The email will come from Lyft. Credits will be valid during 2025 conference dates (April 1-4, 2025) only in downtown Dallas to and from your hotel and official conference events. Unused credits will expire at 3:00 PM on April 4, 2025.
If you are sharing a hotel room at conference, please follow these instructions when booking your room through onPeak to make sure all eligible attendees can receive their Lyft credits:
- Select the correct room occupancy (double/triple, etc.) when choosing your room type,
- Include the full name and email addresses of all roommates.
- Only registered conference attendees will receive credits.
If you are not staying at an official conference hotel, and/or did not book through OnPeak, we are unable to offer Lyft credits for conference.
I already booked my hotel room at one of the eligible hotels, what do I need to do now?
- If you are staying in a room by yourself, you are all set! Watch for the email from Lyft in late March.
- If you will be sharing a room with another TLA conference attendee, be sure their name and email address is included on the reservation to ensure you both get the Lyft credits. For help modifying reservations please contact onPeak.

I am a wheelchair user, can I still use Lyft?
- If you have a foldable chair and are able to walk a short distance, Lyft vehicles should be able to accommodate you.
- If you use a wheelchair 100% of the time, please indicate if you have ADA accessibility needs when you register for the conference and staff will follow-up to confirm the accommodation needed. Questions? Email Robin Morris at TLA.

Tips for Getting the Most From the Lyft Credits
- Consider sharing your ride-share! Stretch your TLA rideshare budget by meeting a new friend. Look for signs in your hotel lobby and C-100 lobby to meet a new carpool buddy.
- Avoid peak travel times when prices may surge (e.g. 20 minutes before a general session).
- Plan some extra travel time in the mornings to ensure you will arrive on time (or early) for all of your planned sessions and events.
- When possible, choose a “Wait and save” rate to save even more.
Dallas also offers several public transportation options via DART.
