UBER Act

This bill would bar federal executive agencies from awarding contracts to ride share, taxi, and other shared transportation companies for services in the continental United States or Hawaii unless every driver working under the contract meets certain requirements. Drivers would need to be at least 21, be able to read and speak English well enough to talk with the public and officials and understand traffic signs, be able to safely operate their vehicle, hold a valid license from one state, and have passed a road test. Deaf or hearing-impaired drivers who use American Sign Language would be exempt from the English requirement. Companies would have to certify that their drivers meet these rules, and a company found not in compliance would be barred from federal contracts for 5 years.
