The future of Uber and Lyft in Minneapolis has garnered concern and debate in recent weeks after the City Council voted last month to require that ride-hailing companies pay drivers a higher rate while they are within city limits. Uber and Lyft say they will stop serving the Minneapolis area when the ordinance takes effect May 1.

Many East African immigrants in the Minneapolis area work as Uber and Lyft drivers and have advocated for the rate increase. Walz said the move would have statewide impact and affect everyone who relies on the service, including people trying to get home safely from bars, people with disabilities, students and others.
Palmisano said she has also heard from drivers who do not agree with it and “are now at risk of losing their livelihood.” Marianna Brown, an Uber driver in her 60s living in a suburb of Minneapolis, supports the ordinance and isn’t worried, saying other ride-hailing companies — and even a local driver-owned co-op — are planning to enter the Minneapolis market. Brown, a Jamaican immigrant, said drivers have been abused by Uber and Lyft for too long.
