Ensuring a Level Playing Field for Rideshare

Today we’re taking legal action to ensure the TLC’s implementation plan does not advantage Uber in New York City and lower driver earnings. Specifically, if the law is implemented as the TLC proposes:

The TLC’s complicated utilization rules will cement Uber’s dominance in NYC — which would have negative consequences for drivers, riders, and Lyft

The TLC’s implementation approach adds a utilization rate — a number indicating the amount of time drivers for each company spend with a passenger in the car. Per ride payment will lead to lower driver earnings overall

We advocated openly and directly to the TLC for a weekly pay formula, which would allow us to avoid raising all passenger prices.
