Uber and Lyft Urge Veto of Colorado Rideshare Safety Bill as Survivors Push for Reform

The battle over rideshare safety legislation intensifies in Colorado as Uber and Lyft join forces to urge Governor Jared Polis to veto a bill that would impose strict new safety requirements on rideshare companies statewide. The proposed legislation, passed by both chambers of the Colorado General Assembly, mandates that all rideshare vehicles be equipped with continuous audio and video recording for prearranged rides beginning in 2026.

While the bill is designed to protect riders—particularly from imposters and violent assaults—rideshare giants argue the legislation is overly burdensome, potentially unenforceable. . .
