Colorado lawmakers are considering a bill that could cause rideshare fares to double.
HB 1273 proposes new regulations that fail to account for the actual costs of providing safe, reliable rides, including state-mandated insurance, safety screenings, and regulatory fees. To cover these ignored fixed costs, average rider fares could double.
For the thousands of Coloradans who use rideshare as a lifeline to get to work, school, or to appointments, these extreme price hikes could make reliable transportation unaffordable.
Furthermore, reduced demand could lead to thousands of riders and drivers losing access to the app entirely.
