A new ride share venture was just weeks old when Shawn Strain became one of its first Colorado Springs-based drivers in October.

Since leaving the corporate world, where he worked for years as a financial crimes investigator, he had put 4,600 Lyft rides under his belt and developed a love of driving. So when his daughter told him about the Drivers Cooperative — Colorado, he looked it up online and was intrigued by what he saw.

After years of getting squeezed by Uber and Lyft, a national rideshare cooperative is offering drivers equity stakes that Silicon Valley refuses to grant.

Rideshare drivers in Colorado face low pay, long hours, and little control, earning as little as $5.49/hour. The Drivers Cooperative-Colorado (DCC) flips the script. As a worker-owned platform, drivers keep 80% of fares, earn fair wages, and have a voice in their company. Join DCC and be part of a movement transforming rideshare—one driver, one ride, one community at a time.

More than 4,000 drivers have downloaded the Drivers Cooperative of Colorado app since its soft launch in August

A new alternative to Uber and Lyft aspires to give workers more income and more say over their working conditions.

The goal of the co-op is to help drivers when it comes to pay and working conditions, while still providing cheap fares for riders.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – Uber and Lyft have a new, local competitor – and it’s promising fair wages and better working conditions for its drivers.

A new rideshare app in Colorado aims to revolutionize the way drivers and riders connect. Driver’s Co-Op Colorado addresses the concerns of rideshare drivers regarding pay and working conditions while offering riders a familiar and affordable option.

A new, local competitor to rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft launched across the state of Colorado this week. The new app is called Drivers Coop Colorado, and every driver for the company is part-owner in the cooperative.

The app, designed as an alternative to Uber and Lyft, pays drivers a higher portion of earnings, according to drivers. We tested it out by ordering a couple of rides.
