Save Shared Rides on Sidecar, Uber, and Lyft!

The Issue

Help us save the most important innovation in transportation since ridesharing.  Overzealous regulators, acting under pressure from big taxi companies, are trying to shut us down.  

Shared Rides are great for California because they are safe and very affordable, cut down on traffic congestion and reduce pollution.  Shared Rides are like an instant carpool - we match you with a nearby rider heading your way for just a bit more than the bus. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), and the San Francisco and Los Angeles County District Attorneys (DA) offices say that Shared Rides are illegal and want Sidecar, Lyft and Uber to stop connecting people to share rides!  

Please sign the petition to ask the CPUC and the DA offices to end their campaign to stop Sidecar Shared Rides, UberPool, and Lyft Line in California. Remember, a year ago, we all joined together to fight for ridesharing and we won. Now people are rallying together to save Shared Rides.
