UPDATE 01/19/2016 : THANK YOU AUSTIN!
Campaign to reverse the anti-ridesharing rules.
Last month, Austin’s City Council approved anti-ridesharing rules that could drive Uber, Lyft and other ridesharing companies out of Austin when they go into effect in a few months.
Ridesharing Works for Austin, a coalition of ridesharing supporters, launched a campaign to give you a chance to reverse the City Council’s decision, keeping Lyft in town for good.
One of your next Lyft drivers might ask you to sign the campaign’s petition. But there’s more you can do to support this campaign and ridesharing:
Visit Ridesharing Works’ website. There, you can sign up for direct email updates from the campaign and download a petition. Stop by one of our two petition locations to sign the petition and pick up packets to collect signatures on your own at these locations
Austin Java @ 1206 Parkway - weekdays from 7-11 a.m or 4-8 p.m. and weekends from 8-11 a.m. and 4-8 p.m.
Dominican Joe’s @ 515 S Congress - weekdays from 11 a.m. to 5p.m.
GET INVOLVED!
Now is your chance to make your voice heard, and ensure that Austin remains ridesharing-friendly.
More Information:
Because the petition is a legal document, signatures must meet certain requirements to count. Only residents of the city of Austin who are registered to vote are eligible to sign. All signatures must be accompanied by a full name, residence address, and either a date of birth or voter registration number. All signatures must be completed on paper.
