Lyft has announced changes in its safety policies following a lawsuit filed by 14 women saying that the company did not do enough to protect them from sexual assault by drivers.
Mary Winfield, Lyft's head of Trust & Safety, noted in a statement to ABC News when the lawsuits were filed that Lyft is"committed to providing safe transportation." The company is now expanding its Community Safety Program"to bring riders and drivers greater protection and peace of mind," Lyft President and Co-founder John Zimmer said in a statement.
In addition, the company will partner with the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network to ensure it is effective at educating its community"to protect against bad actors." It will also require drivers to complete mandatory community safety education, and anyone reported for violating them will be removed from the platform or required to complete additional courses.
