Rideshare Companies Launch Industry Sharing Safety Program in the U.S.

摘要

Uber and Lyft are introducing the Industry Sharing Safety Program, a first-of-its-kind effort to share information about the drivers and delivery people deactivated from each company's platform for the most serious safety incidents including sexual assault and physical assaults resulting in a fatality. The goal of the program is to further enhance the safety of the entire ridesharing industry and equip companies with important safety information to protect their customers. Lyft and Uber will share information about driver deactivations related to the five most critical safety issues within the National Sexual Violence Resource Center's (NSVRC) Sexual Misconduct and Sexual Violence Taxonomy, along with physical assault fatalities. The information sharing will be administered by HireRight, a workforce solutions provider that will collect and manage the data from individual companies, match and share information between the companies and ensure that each company is abiding by best practices and industry standards informed by sexual violence prevention experts and the NSVRC Taxonomy.
