To place a $1.00 charge on Uber, Lyft, Uber Eats, Door Dash, and all like services with the proceeds to be disbursed to the WVDOH and equally applied to each Counties Annual Budget
HB 2579 would impose a $1 fee per ride on ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft, and $1 per delivery on food delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash. The revenue from this fee would go to the West Virginia Department of Highways (WVDOH), which must then distribute the funds equally to every county's annual budget. These funds must be used specifically for maintaining public roadways, not for wages or other administrative costs. The bill directly affects ride-share and delivery service users and operators, with the funding aimed at improving road infrastructure across all counties.
