ME’s Rideshare Driver Minimum Rate Bill

ME Could Become Next State to Set Minimum Rate for Rideshare Drivers

Maine lawmakers are considering a bill (HB 563) to mandate that drivers working for transportation network companies like Uber and Lyft receive a minimum per-trip rate based on the number of minutes or miles they drive. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Eleanor Sato (D), said the measure was modeled after a law passed in Washington State four years ago. Minnesota, Massachusetts and New York City have also set minimum rates for rideshare drivers. (MAINE PUBLIC RADIO, LEXISNEXIS STATE NET)
