Overview
Mission
To meet all expectations by recognizing the needs of drivers in education, safety net programs, representation of to legal action for deactivations or unjust deletions from the platform, information, membership, solidarity and other needs that may arrive. We endeavor to build this organization to include as many protections as possible and necessary laws for drivers in the tnc industry. Pursuant to state law: "driver support organization- or "organization" means a membership-based and member-led nonprofit or labor organization with a principal purpose to support drivers and that has consistently operated in Colorado for at least four years with that purpose: that is not funded, directly or indirectly, excessively influenced, or controlled by a tnc and that is not affiliated with any other entity that is funded, directly or indirectly, excessively influenced, or controlled by a tnc.
What it reported doing in 2025
Create an environment where drivers are comfortable and trusting of our staff to interview and hold personal information for dialogue with tncs, potential arbitration cases, giving the full autonomy to opt in /out of arbitration, and pursue other pathways to reactivation like small claims court , transparency and deactivation complaints through Colorado department of labor and employment (cdle).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
