The organization representing mountain jurisdictions and multiple resort companies is asking the state to allow carpooling apps to operate on Interstate 70 in the name of alleviating traffic.

The Summit Daily News reports that the I-70 Coalition, whose membership includes nearly two dozen towns, cities and counties — as well as Vail Resorts — supports the use of two carpooling apps, TreadShare and Gondola. The Colorado Public Utilities Commission recently shut down TreadShare for not registering as a transportation network company, like Lyft and Uber.

“The annual $111,250 TNC license fee and the extensive regulations such as background and medical checks for drivers is prohibitive and not viable for these cost-sharing ride-share platforms that have the primary goals of congestion and carbon emission reduction,” wrote Ryan Hyland, chair of the I-70 Coalition, to state legislators. “Carpooling is one of a handful of strategies that can really ‘move the needle’ on reducing I-70 congestion. This reduction of vehicles traveling the I-70 mountain corridor would also result in significant reduction in carbon emissions.”

Margaret Bowes, the coalition’s director, told Summit Daily News that changing the law to distinguish ride-sharing apps from carpooling apps, a central feature of which is reducing congestion, would be ideal.
