Rideshare Rodeo Podcast (episode 588)  June 22nd, 2026 Topics: * Gig App "Surveillance Pricing" * Transparency Act (please give it read) * App Metrics and their little to NO value Colorado SB24-075 [https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb24-075] (the Transportation Network Company Transparency Act) is a landmark gig worker law. It requires platforms like Uber and Lyft to be fully transparent with drivers and riders about pay, deactivations, and trip data. Colorado House Bill 24-1129 [https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb24-1129] mandates strict transparency and wage protections for app-based delivery drivers. Under the law, Delivery Network Companies (DNCs)—such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Instacart—are legally required to provide drivers with specific information before they accept a delivery task.  Required Disclosures Before Accepting a Task Before a driver accepts any delivery job, the platform must clearly display:  * Total Estimated Earnings: The actual or estimated amount the driver will earn, broken down to show the exact portion coming from tips or reimbursements. * Task Details: The number of transactions in the task. * Location Data: The exact addresses for both the pickup and drop-off points. Additional Consumer and Driver Protections * 60-Second Rule: Drivers must be given at least 60 seconds to review the task details and decide whether to accept the offer. * Tip Transparency: Platforms are required to pass 100% of the customer's tip to the driver. When prompting consumers to tip, the app must clearly disclose how much of their payment the driver actually receives.  * Enforcement: The Colorado Division of Labor Standards and Statistics manages rule enforcement and can investigate or penalize platforms for violations Delivery Network Company Driver Transparency & Protections Act https://www.change.org/p/delivery-network-company-driver-transparency-protections-act [https://www.change.org/p/delivery-network-company-driver-transparency-protections-act] Rideshare Rodeo Brand & Podcast: https://linktr.ee/RideshareRodeo [https://linktr.ee/RideshareRodeo]
