State lawmakers are introducing—and in some cases passing—major legislation that could reshape driver pay, transparency, safety, deactivations, and even collective bargaining.
In this video we cover:
🇻🇦 Virginia
• New rideshare safety laws now in effect
• Enhanced background checks & driver verification
• New in-app safety features including optional audio/video recording
• Proposed minimum pay legislation
• Pay transparency proposals
• Independent contractor status update
🌲 Maine
• Proposed minimum pay of:
$0.34 per minute
OR $1.17 per mile
• Possible $3 minimum trip alternative
• Proposed January 1, 2027 implementation
🔔 Pennsylvania
• App Workers Transparency Act proposal
• Pay calculation transparency
• Algorithm transparency
• Deactivation transparency
• Portable benefits proposal
• Anti Batch Bot legislation targeting unfair order-grabbing software
🏙️ Illinois
• Transportation Network Driver Labor Relations Act
• Collective bargaining rights for Uber & Lyft drivers
• Drivers remain independent contractors
• Freelance Worker Protection Act
• Expanded protections without employee reclassification
These bills show a growing nationwide trend:
✅ More transparency
✅ More driver protections
✅ More accountability for gig app companies
✅ But different approaches from state to state
👇 What state do YOU drive in?
Leave a comment and let everyone know whats happening where you live.
📢 PLEASE SUPPORT DRIVER TRANSPARENCY
If you believe drivers deserve:
✔ Full pay transparency
✔ Protection from wrongful deactivation
✔ Fair appeals
✔ The freedom to work as true independent contractors
Please read the Delivery Network Company Driver Transparency & Protections Act petition and decide whether youd like to sign it:
