Independent Drivers Guild NJ

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.

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.

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.
