[Colorado-Talk] FW: Rideshare in Colorado Is at Risk

Mon Apr 28 16:35:52 UTC 2025

I certainly take your point seriously. It is my understanding that the drivers are not going to have access to turn off. That probably strengthens your position even more. And I do get it your concern. And again, I have read the bill, I have talked to the players, I do not think it will pass. But to your point. I have become desensitized. Sadly, I just assume mics and cameras are everywhere now. As a society, we have pretty much made the decision that our identities, our human footprints, even our brains, are becoming more and more linked to the cloud. It is craziness! But in my view, the upside of safety and security barely outweighs my privacy concerns. I believe there will be enough Democrats and all Republicans who will oppose this back in the house. And there will be litigation. I've not seen a comment from Lyft. Has anyone?

By the way, many drivers already have cameras in their cars. It seems to me that these mandated security measures are as much for the customers as they are for the protection of drivers. Supposedly, the companies consider these drivers as independent business owners. So are fast food franchises. And there are cameras everywhere. And you can't drive a McDonald's into an alley to do someone harm.

Hope you don’t take these views as argumentative. And I am always open to broadening my perspective.

There are several items in the proposed bill 1291 that concern me and it is not  about ride share corporate profits. I am in favor of increased safety for all riders and understand the intention behind the bill to protect vulnerable people. But when does safety cross into violation of privacy.  I am not convinced that cameras on the RTD buses have discouraged crime. Also, public buses are public. I think of ride share as a private  business. We have endured violations of privacy in the name of crime prevention but when does it cross over into big brother  causing fear. I am creeped out by the idea of a camera and microphone recording my ride and recording my phone call or conversation with a friend sharing the ride. How long is the recording saved and who has access to it? Who does the recording belong to? Have we all been desensitized to cameras and microphones in our daily life and is privacy now only an illusion?   If a bad actor wants to commit a crime, all they have to do is shut off the recording.

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
