Driverless car companies like Waymo are still pushing to expand across New Jersey.
These vehicles have caused crashes, blocked emergency responders, and created chaos in other cities. We cannot let the same happen here.
Drivers deserve safe streets and job protections.

Great news. A bill that would have legalized expanded driverless car operations by Waymo in Virginia has been shelved. Thank you to the IAM Union who worked with us to make sure lawmakers slowed down and listened to drivers’ concerns about safety, jobs, and the impact on our communities.
Thank you to everyone who spoke up and took action. When drivers stand together, we can hit the brakes on bad policies.

Driverless cars are expanding in New Jersey, and companies like Waymo want to replace drivers with machines.
In other cities, these vehicles have caused crashes, blocked emergency responders, and created traffic chaos. NJ streets should not be used as a testing ground for unproven technology.
Stand up for safe streets and driver jobs.

Driver power works.
After strong opposition from drivers, the Port Authority changed course on its proposed Newark Airport FHV access fee. Instead of adding the full $2.50 fee in 2026, it will now be phased in over three years.
More than 165 driver comments opposed the fee, and IDG Deputy Director NJ Sohail delivered powerful testimony at the meeting that clearly made an impact. Reporters pressed officials on the affordability of the fee because drivers spoke up.
This is an important win and proof that organizing matters. We will keep fighting unfair fees on drivers.

📣 New Jersey Drivers: Speak Out TONIGHT!
The Port Authority wants to impose an unfair $10 fee on every rideshare trip at Newark Airport — hurting both drivers and the NJ travelers who rely on us every day.
Meanwhile, yellow taxis — mostly serving wealthy Manhattan business travelers and tourists — get a special exemption.
NJ working families would pay more. Manhattan elites would pay nothing.
This is deeply unfair and will devastate Newark Airport drivers.
🕚 Deadline for public comments: TONIGHT at 11:59 PM
Use your voice NOW before it’s too late.
📣 Tell the Port Authority: Don’t destroy our airport jobs. Make fees FAIR.
👉 Submit your comment here: bit.ly/PortAuthorityComments
You can copy & paste any of these into your comment:
• NJ riders and drivers cannot afford a $10 fee for every Newark Airport trip.
• It is unfair to charge rideshare workers more while yellow taxis get exemptions that benefit wealthy Manhattan travelers.
• This “reverse Robin Hood” proposal takes from working NJ families to protect Manhattan taxi interests.
• This fee hike would cause enormous financial harm to Newark Airport drivers and the communities we support.
• Please reject or postpone this proposal and create a fair, equitable structure that doesn’t single out app-based drivers.
Let’s stand together. Protect our airport jobs. Protect NJ drivers.
Share this with every driver you know.

The Port Authority is seeking public input on the proposed 2026 Budget, 2026–2035 Capital Plan, and changes to tolls, fares, and fees. Comments submitted through this form will be reviewed by the Board of Commissioners as part of their consideration of these proposals.
