Drivers and delivery workers deserve fairness and respect. Yet, thousands of hardworking app workers face unfair bus lane tickets every year – tickets that make it harder for us to do our jobs safely and serve our passengers. That’s why we are asking you to take action.
Right now, drivers only have 5 minutes to get passengers and their equipment safely into the car and pull away from the bus lane before we can be ticketed. That is not enough time, especially if we are dealing with seniors or the disabled. More shockingly, drivers routinely get tickets in UNDER 5 minutes if a second bus comes and photographs them before their time is up.
Sign JFAW’s petition to tell the MTA and DOT to stop targeting us with unfair regulations that harm our jobs, the community we serve, and its residents.
We are demanding:
• An end to unfair bus lane ticketing for FHV drivers and delivery workers.
• Inclusion of FHV drivers in the Department of Finance (DOF) exemption system for safe pick-ups and drop-offs.
• Recognition of the vital service we provide to NYC passengers and communities.
These changes will help ensure that drivers can continue to provide safe and reliable service to all New Yorkers, especially those with the greatest need. Sign our petition and make your voice heard against the unfair bus lane ticketing of app workers!
