[Colorado-Talk] Rideshare in Colorado Is at Risk

Mon Apr 28 16:26:16 UTC 2025

Uber has now filed a suit. My sense is the bill won't pass. I also believe Uber may be threatening to shut down. I frankly support this bill. At least in its present form. I believe this bill has appropriate safety and security measures included. I don’t believe for a second that Uber will actually leave Colorado. The fact is one of the authors of the bill was sexually assaulted by an Uber driver. There have also been numerous other cases of violent interactions between drivers and customers. There is no reason that Uber can't deploy modern technologies to vastly improve the safety of passengers. Moreover, and quite candidly, having on board cameras will assist those of us with guide dogs to have evidence of driver refusals.

In addition, I have talked to both Republican and Democratic lawmakers who tell me this is not likely to pass in its current form. I would urge my brothers and sisters to look at the bill and make their own determination.

I suppose there is a risk that the bill will pass and Uber will leave Colorado. I think it’s a small risk. Folks should also know that Dan Burke and I were talking to the members of the general assembly about attaching a provision that would increase penalties for service dog refusals. However, because of this controversy, the key players did not want to load the bill down with additional amendments.

These are my own thoughts. I don’t know if NFBCO board of directors would want to take a position on this bill. I personally suggest we leave it alone and see what happens.

Act Now to Save Rideshare in Colorado

Hi Theresa,

Your Uber rides in Colorado are at risk. A new bill, HB25-1291, will force Uber to shut down statewide if passed in its current form.

If passed, this bill would:
•

Invade your privacy: The bill mandates continuous audio and video recording of all rides, with no way for you to opt out.
•

Create unworkable conditions: The bill imposes impractical requirements, like prohibiting drivers from offering riders a bottle of water—and holding Uber responsible if they do.
•

Increase your costs: The bill opens the door for more frivolous lawsuits that drive up prices at a time when the cost of living is a huge issue for Coloradans.

We believe there's a better way to ensure safety and accessibility without sacrificing your privacy or forcing Uber out of the state, and we’re ready to find a middle ground.

But time is running out: the legislative session ends May 7th, so your immediate action is crucial.

Click “Take Action” below to tell your lawmakers to keep Uber in Colorado.

Thanks,
The Uber team
