It’s time to come together

Drivers are uniting to build a driver-owned ride share in Colorado. By owning the platform, we can earn more, and take control of our lives, and keep wealth in our community.

The Drivers Coop

Colorado

We are ride-share drivers in Colorado who formed a platform worker cooperative in collaboration with The Drivers Cooperative in New York. Our cooperative will utilize a worker-owned app, Coop-Ride, as an alternative to Uber/Lyft to provide better working conditions and better pay for ride-share drivers. Through the Drivers’ Cooperative, we will earn substantially more income (by paying less of each fare to a corporate middleman) and will enjoy democratic control of our own business by electing a Board of Directors and participating in various programs.

Our Drivers Cooperative-Colorado will be officially launched in early 2024.

Better Wages

Drivers will retain 80% of each fare and 20% of their fares will be used for coop administration. In this way, drivers are able to earn better wages.

Fair Fares

Have you ever been shocked by the high cost of booking a car with Uber or Lyft Booking a ride with our cooperative more affordable for riders.

Build Community

Ride-share money stays with the local economy. By supporting a locally-owned driver cooperative, we contribute to building a more robust local economy.

Our Mission

We aim to generate social mobility and close the wealth gap by increasing pay for Colorado’s ride-share drivers and by creating a more just, equitable and inclusive workplace.

Providing our drivers with better pay and better working conditions.

Giving riders with a safer ride.

Our commitment

We work with other marginalized communities (i.e., refugees, the elderly, the disabled) to provide transportation service.

We are increasing the numbers of EV for our coop members.

We work in solidarity with other marginalized communities for a broader social transformation.

Rocky Mountain Employee Ownership Center

Our cooperative in Colorado was incubated by Rocky Mountain Employee Ownership Center (RMEOC) that promotes employee-owned businesses in the Rocky Mountain region. RMEOC will continue to provide various support such as fundraising, leadership development, and cooperative education until the cooperative becomes sustainable.
