     CONCERNING MEASURES TO INCREASE PROTECTIONS FOR PERSONS ENGAGED
          WITH TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANIES.
     Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
            SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly
     finds that:
            (a) Coloradans increasingly rely on a range of transportation modes,
     including transportation network companies, to travel to work, school,
     medical appointments, social gatherings, and more;
     ________
     Capital letters or bold & italic numbers indicate new material added to existing law; dashes
     through words or numbers indicate deletions from existing law and such material is not part of
     the act.
       (b) Large transportation network companies like Uber and Lyft
operate through digital platforms they control that connect riders and
drivers;
       (c) Transportation network companies are widely used by a broad
range of individuals, including vulnerable populations such as individuals
with disabilities and individuals seeking alternative transportation after
consuming alcohol. Reports from drivers and riders have identified safety
concerns, including incidents involving fraud, sexual assault, and other
harms.
        (d) According to the New York Times, between 2017 and 2022, a
total of 400,181 Uber trips resulted in reports of sexual assault and sexual
misconduct in the United States. Previously, the company had only
disclosed 12,522 accounts of serious sexual assaults for the same time
period, without indicating the total number of sexual assault and sexual
misconduct reports the company received. The New York Times report
means that Uber received a report of sexual assault or sexual misconduct in
the United States almost every eight minutes, a far more pervasive problem
than what the company originally disclosed.
       (e) The structure and scale of transportation network company
operations present ongoing considerations regarding safety practices,
accountability, and the allocation of resources for rider and driver
protections.
       (2) Therefore, the general assembly declares that the people of
Colorado will benefit from legislation to support clear and consistent safety
standards for transportation network companies and to promote a
transportation system that is safe, reliable, and accessible.
