Collectively, they're driving millions of dollars into these D.C. coffers.
Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. are each on track to set records in their annual spending on Washington lobbying, as the two ride-hailing companies aim to influence policy makers on labor issues and other matters.
Uber and Lyft’s 2019 disclosures indicate they’ve lobbied the most on a bill known as the NEW GIG Act. The legislation’s supporters say the bill would provide clarity on which workers are independent contractors rather than employees, as well as address related tax issues. Other bills that have drawn lobbying in 2019 from Uber, which has a bike-sharing business, include a measure that would provide a tax benefit to bike commuters and a measure that would help union organizers. Besides the NEW GIG Act, the other bill that Lyft has disclosed lobbying on this year is Sami’s Law, which seeks to improve signs on rideshare-app vehicles after a college student’s fatal Uber mixup.
