Policy-Maker V2

Dear Policy-Maker,

Best,

Agency Agency

We need to talk about rideshare services.

In theory, they sound great for our city, but we want to show you what’s really going on.

Behind the promise of increased access to transportation for all

are the thousands of citizens who are instantly excluded.

Children, individuals with disabilities, low-income groups.

Behind the prospect of creating economic opportunity

is the disruption of several lives and livelihoods.

Taxi drivers, public transit operators, station agents, mechanics, rental car businesses.

Behind the appeal of flexible work hours

are erratic schedules and families robbed of time with their loved ones.

Behind the claim of increased urban mobility

is reduced public transit service.

Behind the goal of having fewer cars on our streets

is increased congestion & all the environmental harm that comes with it.

Is it not time we ask ourselves – who really benefits from the sharing taking economy?

Their promises only help them and a handful of others profit, at the expense of damage elsewhere.

The ‘elsewhere’ is our city and it’s at stake.

It is time for action.

We must demand that corporations think about the unpaid costs of their actions to our citizens, our city, our environment.

Change starts with you, but we can help.

Our Approach
