Impact

Intersections we have with policy, advocacy, and media.

Policy Engagement

CIDU-CWA 7777

FairFare data supporting ongoing platform transparency enforcement in Colorado

CIDU used FairFare data to support their arguments for Colorado's transparency laws and continues to help them enforce new transparency policy.

WA Rideshare Drivers Union

Built FareShare with Washington's largest rideshare union to help drivers contest AI deactivations and recover lost wages

Partnered with Washington state's largest rideshare labor union to build FareShare, an open-source tool that automates lost-wage estimation for drivers unjustly deactivated by platform AI systems. FairShare continues to help drivers contest AI deactivations and recover lost wages.

Colorado Legislature

Supported passage of Colorado's platform transparency laws (SB24-75 & HB24-1129)

Collaborated with CIDU-CWA 7777 to support two landmark bills signed into law by Governor Polis that requires Uber and Lyft to disclose driver wages and rider charges. Organizers reported that FairFare data helped them build the case for the laws.
