DFL leaders in Minnesota have announced a deal to resolve the rideshare impasse, ensuring Uber and Lyft will continue operating in the state. The agreement, reached with Governor Tim Walz, will result in higher pay for many rideshare drivers under a new statewide rideshare legislation. This development comes after Uber and Lyft had planned to exit the state due to a Minneapolis ordinance. The pay raise plan has advanced in the state Legislature and has beaten the deadline for approval.
