Lyft

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. – October 29, 2026 -- Suvoda has added Lyft, Uber Health and Bolt rideshare access to Greenphire Travel, targeting a logistical barrier that 49% of disrupted participants in the latest CISCRP study cited: travel to the study clinic.

Participants book rides and track trips through the Suvoda App

Participants can book eligible rides, view flight and hotel details, and follow rideshare status in the Suvoda App. The same app shows study appointments, questionnaires and payments. Suvoda says this cuts routine status inquiries routed through site staff. Rideshare provider availability depends on region.

Sites get a revised travel request workflow, a clearer view of trip status and secure messaging. Sponsors and contract research organizations (CROs) get more detailed reporting on travel spend and policy across global trials.
