Today, we demand that ride-hailing and delivery app providers work with us to address the recent increase in carjackings and other criminal incidents. Dozens of rideshare drivers and delivery workers have been targeted as victims of carjackings in Chicago in the last few months alone.

These common-sense improvements will protect both drivers and their passengers from ensuring safe transit during the COVID-19 pandemic:

• Passenger verification
• Mandatory passenger profile photos
• Mandatory mask-wearing selfie when ordering a ride
• Credit card fraud verification
• Stolen account warning
• Police zone warnings in-app
• Passenger background check
• Panic button
• Special crime victim insurance
• Increased penalties for assaults
• In-vehicle cameras
• Safety violation charges

Every rideshare and delivery driver and passenger in Chicago needs to know that we are specifically being targeted for these crimes. As such, we ask for your help and solidarity in fostering a safer industry. Sign our petition here.
