Rideshare Sexual Assault

Over the past decade, rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft have become an integral part of daily life for Americans, offering millions a convenient transportation option. While these apps promise safe and reliable service, recent safety reports reveal a disturbing trend.

According to Uber’s own Safety Reports, approximately 12,000 sexual assault incidents were reported to the company between 2017 and 2022. These findings underscore significant gaps in the safety measures rideshare companies have in place. Despite their responsibility to provide safe rides, rideshare companies have consistently failed to implement adequate protections for passengers, particularly for vulnerable passengers traveling alone. This systemic negligence has resulted in numerous preventable sexual assaults by drivers.
