Comment from Lyft, Inc.
Lyft, Inc.OpposeBusiness
Summary: Lyft, Inc. opposes the proposed policy, arguing that it fails to account for the unique operating model of transportation network companies (TNCs) and would hinder transit agencies' ability to provide cost-effective, flexible mobility options. The company advocates for a policy that recognizes their existing safety protocols and software-based business model rather than requiring a dedicated fleet-like drug and alcohol testing program.
