DENVER — 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 nonprofit Rocky Mountain Employee Ownership Center has been supporting the development of Drivers Coop Colorado . Executive director Minsun Ji believes a rideshare company is a perfect fit for employee-ownership.
“A lot of those communities will use a prescheduled trip to make sure that we actually have that wheelchair-accessible van.” Right now, about 250 drivers are working under Drivers Coop Colorado. That means the wait times for a ride are typically longer than with other rideshare apps. But with about 1,600 drivers in the application process, the board of directors thinks the wait times will decrease in the coming weeks. They expect to see the numbers of drivers and riders take off.
