Guaranteed pay and tip protections for drivers
Beginning July 1, 2026, drivers must get at least $0.59 per minute and $1.38 per mile, or $5.17 per trip, when a trip starts in a city over 600,000 people. Elsewhere, the minimum is $0.34 per minute and $1.17 per mile, or $3.00 per trip. If a trip crosses into a large city, use each area’s rate for that part. The department raises these minimums each September 30 by the state minimum wage increase, with new amounts starting January 1. More trips count toward pay, including rider cancels after 2 minutes, no-shows after 5 minutes, and driver cancels for good cause; time or miles can be excluded to stop fraud. Companies must pass all tips to drivers and cannot count tips toward the minimum. Deductions from pay need your advance written OK and cannot generate extra profit for the company.
Appeal rights when accounts are deactivated
Starting July 1, 2026, companies must have a department‑approved agreement with the driver resource center so drivers can appeal deactivations that last three or more days. Companies must tell drivers at deactivation about the right to representation, and also notify drivers deactivated between June 9, 2022 and the agreement’s start that they may have appeal rights. Within 30 days, the company must share its explanation and relied-on information with the driver resource center; there must be a quick informal review and then a formal just‑cause panel with a neutral who can order make‑whole back pay. The driver resource center and companies must negotiate in good faith; if no deal in 120 days, they go to mediation, then binding arbitration with a decision due in 60 days and final department review. The department can hold hearings, require changes, adopt rules, and agreements are immune from antitrust laws.
Clear vehicle rules and advance notice
Beginning September 1, 2025, companies must publish which makes, models, and years qualify for each product class. They must give current drivers at least 120 days’ written notice before changing vehicle age or model-type rules for an existing class. If your car lost eligibility only because of year or model in the 12 months before that date, the company must reinstate it in that class for at least 12 months, unless safety, access loss, or legal issues caused the change. The law also clarifies product class and platform vehicle definitions.
Weekly pay summaries and receipts for drivers
Starting July 1, 2026, companies must send you a per-trip receipt within 24 hours showing passenger time and miles, pay rates or incentives, tips, gross pay, net pay, and itemized deductions and fees. They must keep receipts downloadable for two years and, on request, give you a searchable download of your last 24 months of trips within three business days. Each week, they must send a summary with your total passenger time, miles, tips, gross and net pay, and itemized deductions. Companies must also give a written notice of your rights, including pay standards, anti-retaliation protections, and how to enforce your rights, in English and the five most common foreign languages.
Itemized ride receipts for passengers
Beginning July 1, 2026, you receive an electronic receipt within 24 hours after each ride. It shows the date and time, pick-up and drop-off to the block level, trip time and distance, the driver’s first name, the total fare with itemized charges and fees, and the tips you paid.
Optional driver donations per trip
Starting July 1, 2026, once at least 100 drivers opt in, companies must let drivers authorize a voluntary per‑trip deduction to the driver resource center. You must give written permission and choose the per‑trip amount; the first deduction happens within 30 days and companies remit monthly within 28 days after month‑end. Your authorization stays until the driver resource center revokes it. Companies can be reimbursed for their administrative costs, and the department will set rules on those costs.
Small per-ride fee funds driver help
Beginning July 1, 2026, companies add a $0.15 fee to each trip (each leg on shared rides) and send it quarterly to the driver resource center fund. The department adjusts the fee for inflation each September 30, and the new amount starts January 1. Companies must file quarterly reports with trip counts and total surcharge; the first payment is due on the 30th day of the next quarter. Late payments face penalties and interest. This small rider fee helps pay for driver support services.
