View All NewsUber, Lyft to leave Minneapolis over driver pay regulation
March 15, 2024
Lyft and Uber said they will cease operations in Minneapolis after the city’s Council voted Thursday to override a mayoral veto and require rideshare companies in the city increase wages for independent contractor drivers to the equivalent of the local minimum wage of $15.57 an hour, The Associated Press reported.
Both companies promised to push for statewide legislation that would counter the Minneapolis ordinance, and state House Republicans proposed a bill Thursday that would preempt local regulations of ride-hailing services.
