Rideshare services in the DC area are a safe and affordable means of travel for both work & play. Imposing an additional tax on these services will ensure that fewer individuals are able to afford these services & make an expensive city ever less affordable for everyday ppl. It will hurt both rider & rideshare provider & is completely unnecessary.

Just what we need: another tax for ineffective DC politicians to leverage for wasted spending.

I oppose the rideshare tax on grounds it unfairly penalizes working families and small businesses. The D.C. Council should support working families and small business rather than burdening them with taxes and driving them to Virginia and Maryland.

The tax is 24/7; however, the Metro does not run at night. People have to use alternate transportation not just when Metro fails, but when Metro does not operate. Why aren't Bikeshare programs being taxed? They take away Metro riders, too.

Don’t discourage alternative means of transportation by taxing them out of business. Rideshare companies give people a backup plan if they metro, bike or walk to work.

Taxing innovative services to support traditional transit is a poor idea. Such a tax operates as a disincentive to use the new service, while doing little to boost the quality or reliability of the traditional transit model. Additionally, such taxes discourage people from using services that reduce congestion, serve neighborhoods underserved by traditional transit, and harm those the tax is supposedly intended to benefit.
I personally use services such as Uber and Lyft on a regular basis. The new tax is likely to increase my costs and make be think twice before traveling into the District for pleasure or business.

The same day they also voted to increase the property taxes as well as the alcohol sales tax to above 10%; all to fund a failed Metro system that they are pushing people to use in order to justify the expense.

The taxes are already high enough in DC, this is just another effort to push more from living in the district. I am considering a move to VA in the coming months when my lease is up.

The city does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. When will the Council work toward cutting waste, fraud and abuse?
