UBER Act

This bill requires drivers working for ride-share companies under federal contracts in the U.S. or Hawaii to meet specific standards: be at least 21 years old, read and speak English well enough to interact with the public and officials, safely operate vehicles, hold a valid state license, and pass a road test. It includes an exception for deaf or hearing-impaired drivers using American Sign Language. Companies must certify all drivers meet these requirements, and non-compliance results in a 5-year ban from federal contracts. The law applies to transportation network companies (like Uber or Lyft) and shared-use mobility providers seeking federal contracts.
