Mayor Jacob Frey will join several leaders from the business and hospitality industry, along with elderly and disability advocates to highlight the impact of Uber and Lyft ceasing operation in Minneapolis on May 1.

Mayor Frey has renewed his calls to the City Council to reconsider their ordinance given the impact it will have on both drivers and riders alike. The Council will take up reconsideration on Thursday, April 11.

The mayor has been clear and consistent in his push to both increase driver pay and ensure rideshare services continue operating in Minneapolis. The mayor would support a rate of pay increase in line with the recently released statewide study and is asking the City Council to send him an ordinance that he can sign into law – one that reflects the data in the State’s study.
