Backers say Colorado needs new rules to ensure the safety of rideshare passengers.
—
Drivers for companies like Uber and Lyft would be required to continuously record video and audio throughout every ride under a passenger safety bill that gets its first hearing at the State Capitol Thursday.
The requirement is one of several proposed changes to the Transportation Company Consumer Protection Act that will be proposed at the public hearing. Sponsors say the hope is that the recordings will help rideshare companies verify drivers’ identities while they’re working and provide evidence to investigate passenger complaints.
