Lyft Bill - 3023-A

HB 3023-A, a bill addressing transportation network companies (TNCs), is currently making its way through the state legislature. We must stop this as it undermines undermines the local jurisdictions like the City of Portland’s authority to protect our communities and the places we live, work, learn, practice spiritually and play.

If passed, this is a clear indication that  TNC industry are setting state policy and operating with little regulation or oversight in your community.

Talking Points:

• If passed, it will eliminate and would preempt any local jurisdictions municipalities in the State of Oregon, to regulate companies like Uber and Lyft with regards to driver background and vehicle safety checks, insurance, and more. A big concern to public safety!

• It places the burden of additional insurance (and the determination of how much that insurance policy should be) on drivers. It also allows TNCs to provide just the bare minimum of uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.

• It does not guarantee equal access to transportation choices for individuals with disabilities.TNCs don't believe the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to their industry, leaving cities and municipalities to try to fill the gap.

  • Not only would this bill expressly exempt cities and municipalities from having to offer accessible options, but the cap placed on the surcharge is so low it would not allow cities to fund programs that try to fill this gap.

  • TNCs should be required to comply with the ADA, and this disregard for federal law and civil rights is profoundly concerning.

  • It does not prohibit surge pricing in any way and under any circumstances, therefore limiting user  protections.

  • It exempts all records from public record law, including information relating to complaints against a company or driver.

  • It eliminates the ability for cities to know how many drivers are operating in the city and how that is impacting pollution and other environmental justice concerns.

  • It adds a two-cent surcharge on TNC rides in vehicles that are not electric--but only beginning in 2026. This is too little too late. We are in a ecological, economic and crisis of empire, and we action now, not in 2026

  • The make- up of HB 3023-A undermines meaningful engagement as this bill was created by TNC’s for TNC’s
