Oklahoma’s governor is expected to sign off on the bill soon.
“Women’s access to healthcare is under attack again, this time in Oklahoma,” Green said in a tweet. “Lyft drivers are once again caught in the middle just for getting people where they need to go. We believe transportation shouldn’t be a barrier to accessing healthcare and it’s our duty to support both our rider and driver communities.”
Green also said the company is “working with health provider partners to create a safe state program” that will cover the cost of travel for riders seeking out-of-state abortion care. Additionally, Lyft says it will cover travel costs for insured US-based Lyft drivers who need to travel over 100 miles to an abortion clinic.
Although it hasn’t been announced on Uber’s public-facing channels yet, the company confirmed to CNBC that it plans on enacting a similar policy. “Like in TX, we intend to cover all legal fees for any driver sued under this law while they’re driving,” an Uber spokesperson said in a statement to CNBC. It’s unclear whether Uber also plans on covering travel expenses for drivers or passengers traveling for an abortion.
