Drivers are on the road again—safety protocols such as acrylic dividers are the key to increasing ridership.

Rideshare drivers are returning to work. The reasons are varied, but they include, among other reasons, uncertainty about federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, and some cities coming back to life as coronavirus cases continue to decline.

Uber and Lyft ridership is slowly but surely returning, but rideshare companies are looking to boost demand further. A key strategy in increasing ridership is ensuring rider safety and confidence.

There are many safety protocols currently in place to prevent coronavirus spread. Both Uber and Lyft suspended their shared ride options in March, and mask wearing is now mandatory for all trips.

One protocol that is sure to boost rider confidence, though, is installing acrylic shields to protect drivers and passengers.

While Lyft has promised it will provide some 60,000 drivers with free acrylic partitions, Uber has said it is their drivers’ responsibility to procure their own shields.
