We're facing a crisis. The Minneapolis City Council's recent decision is forcing ridesharing companies Lyft and Uber to bid farewell on July 1 – Lyft will end operations in Minneapolis while Uber will leave the entire Twin Cities metro area, including MSP International Airport.
The City Council’s actions not only disrupt our everyday lives but also limit transportation options for thousands of residents and visitors.
Ridesharing isn't just a convenience; it's a lifeline for many who rely on it for essential travel, especially in areas with limited public transportation. The majority of rideshares in Minneapolis start or end in low-income areas and thousands of disabled riders in our region use Lyft or Uber to get to work or services like adult day centers. Whether traveling to work or school, running errands, or enjoying a night out, ridesharing has become an integral part of our landscape.
But now, due to regulatory hurdles imposed by the City Council, this vital service is on the brink of extinction in Minneapolis. The consequences of this decision are dire and will have ripple effects throughout our economy.
Some Councilmembers have suggested new companies could fill the void. But it’s not realistic to think new ridesharing companies would be able to stand up an operation by July 1 that has the safeguards, level of security, and ease and speed of service that rideshare users have come to expect.
It's time to take action and make sure our voices are heard. We urge you to reach out to Minneapolis City Council members now and demand a reconsideration of this damaging ordinance. Let's show our elected officials that we refuse to accept a future without ridesharing. Together, we can make a difference and preserve the accessibility and convenience that Lyft and Uber provide to our community.
Act now before it's too late. Contact the City Council today and let them know that ridesharing must stay!

Dear Minneapolis City Councilmembers,
We are weeks away from a crisis that will impact transportation options for thousands of residents and visitors. The Minneapolis City Council created this situation – and I’m writing to ask you to fix it before Lyft and Uber bid farewell to us on July 1.
Ridesharing isn't just a convenience; it's an essential service, especially in areas with limited public transportation. The majority of rideshares in Minneapolis start or end in low-income areas. Thousands of disabled riders in our region use Lyft or Uber to get to work, or to services like adult day centers. Whether traveling to work or school, running errands, or enjoying a night out, ridesharing has become an integral part of our society.
The idea that new companies could fill the void is fantasy. It’s not realistic to think new ridesharing companies would be able to stand up an operation by July 1 that has the safeguards, level of security, and ease and speed of service that rideshare users have come to expect.
Don’t make our region the only metro area in the nation without ridesharing. Vote to fix it now and keep rideshares operating.
If Uber and Lyft leave MSP it will result in:
