Dashes through the words or numbers indicate deletions from existing law. individual is permitted to act as a driver and at least once every 6 months
after the initial criminal history record check. The bill requires that the
criminal history record check be a fingerprint-based criminal history
record check and eliminates the option for the individual to fulfill the
requirement through a privately administered national criminal history
record check.
Before each prearranged ride, a TNC shall verify that a driver
providing the prearranged ride is the same driver authorized by the TNC
to provide the prearranged ride through one of the following methods:
! An in-vehicle dash camera;
! A live self-identification photograph or video;
! Biometric verification by fingerprint or optical scan; or
! Another method that effectively verifies that the driver
providing the prearranged ride is the same driver
authorized by the TNC for that prearranged ride.
If a person files a complaint with the public utilities commission
(commission) against a TNC or a driver, the TNC shall, upon request
from the person filing the complaint, provide the person filing the
complaint all known and available data, photographs, and video related
to the prearranged ride that is the subject of the complaint. After a person
files a complaint against a TNC or a driver, the TNC is required to
respond to a request for information from the person, the commission, a
court, a district attorney, the attorney general, or a law enforcement
agency no later than 24 hours after the request is made.
In addition to enforcement by the commission, the bill authorizes
the attorney general or a person injured or harmed by an alleged violation
of the bill to initiate a civil proceeding in a district court against a TNC
or a driver that violates the bill.
The bill requires a TNC to ensure that each prearranged ride is
continuously audio and video recorded from when the driver picks up the
rider until when the rider departs from the driver's vehicle. A rider or
driver may opt out of the continuous audio and video recording.
The bill requires that, on or before February 1, 2026, and on or
before February 1 each year thereafter, a TNC shall submit specified data
to the commission, the attorney general, the house of representatives
judiciary committee, and the senate judiciary committee.
A provision in a contract between a TNC and a rider is declared
void as against public policy if the provision attempts or purports to
waive specified rights.
The bill requires a TNC to develop policies to:
! Prevent imposter accounts, account sharing, and account
renting;
! Prevent sexual assault, physical assault, and homicide
against or committed by the TNC's drivers; and
! Allow drivers and riders to opt out of continuous audio and
1291
-2- video recording during a prearranged ride.
The following actions are made a deceptive trade practice in
violation of the "Colorado Consumer Protection Act":
! A violation of the "Transportation Network Company Act";
and
! Altering the rating that a rider assigned a driver on a TNC's
digital network or assigning an automatic or default driver
rating that the rider did not assign.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:1
SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly2
finds that:3
(a) Coloradans increasingly rely on a range of transportation4
modes, including transportation network companies, to travel to work,5
school, medical appointments, social gatherings, and more;6
(b) Unlike traditional transportation providers, transportation7
network companies exercise full control over their platforms while8
classifying drivers as independent contractors rather than employees;9
(c) Transportation network companies market their services as10
safe and convenient for vulnerable populations, including children,11
individuals with disabilities, and people seeking a responsible ride home12
after consuming alcohol. However, transportation network company13
drivers and riders have reported incidents of fraud, sexual assault,14
physical assault, and homicide.15
(d) According to the national institutes of health, drivers providing16
transportation network company services have an accident rate and a fatal17
crash incidence rate that is higher than the general population, partly due18
to the increased hours of driving and driver fatigue;19
(e) According to a study conducted by the University of Chicago,20
transportation network companies account for about a 3% annual increase21
1291-3- in traffic-related fatalities, or roughly 987 people, including pedestrians,1
each year. This increase is due, in part, to the large number of drivers2
needed to provide quick response times.3
(f) Transportation network companies have failed to develop and4
fully implement adequate protections on their own volition, despite5
having direct knowledge of serious safety risks to riders and drivers;6
(g) Transportation network companies have not effectively7
prevented the widespread problem of account sharing, where authorized8
drivers give unauthorized individuals access to their profiles, allowing9
unauthorized individuals to bypass security measures. Account sharing10
undermines security and puts riders and the public at risk of harm.11
(h) Transportation network companies have long been aware of12
the systemic problem of sexual assaults committed by their drivers.13
Internal safety reports confirm thousands of reported sexual assaults over14
multiple years, yet transportation network companies have not15
implemented meaningful reforms. The actual number of incidents is16
likely far higher, as studies show that only 30% of sexual assaults are17
reported, meaning thousands more victims may have been harmed.18
Transportation network companies have faced lawsuits from passengers19
and their own shareholders for failing to disclose the extent of the20
problem.21
(i) Transportation network companies prioritize profits over rider22
safety, rolling back protections despite billions of dollars in revenue. The23
cost of a background check is negligible compared to the24
multibillion-dollar net worth and profit of the industry.25
(2) Therefore, the general assembly declares that the people of26
Colorado require legislation to ensure that all transportation modes,27
1291
-4- including transportation network companies, are safe, reliable, and just1
and that the people of Colorado have a transportation system that2
prioritizes their safety.3
