Keep ridesharing at California airports – Support transportation choice.

Keep ridesharing at California airports – Support transportation choice.

I support the authorization of ridesharing platforms such as Lyft, Uber, and Sidecar at major airports throughout our state, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, Sonoma, and John Wayne.
Airport parking and traffic congestion are big problems, and convenient, sustainable ridesharing options can reduce congestion while helping the environment.
As a frequent business traveler, I travel several times a month in and out of LAX and other California airports – but right now, I don’t have quick, affordable options to get me to and from the airport when I’m trying to catch a flight or arriving home late at night.
I use ridesharing apps in LA and cities throughout the state to travel between meetings and appointments on busy days. And I encourage my college-age daughters to use these platforms to request safe rides home, because they have rigorous safety and accountability standards and are approved throughout California under CPUC rules.
Major California airports are dragging their feet when it comes to approving ridesharing or resisting it altogether, and travelers like me are paying the price. California residents and visitors alike deserve to have access to convenient, affordable ridesharing options at our airports, just as we do throughout the rest of the state.
San Francisco, Denver, and Nashville International airports recently announced permits approving ridesharing platforms for airport pickups and dropoffs. Other California airports should agree to the same.
