National Poll on Ride-Sharing and Sexual Harassment

December 28, 2018 By HKearl

Earlier this year, Alarms.org commissioned a poll of 500 women nationwide by the survey company Pollfish. Less than one percent of the women surveyed said they never used Uber and 28 percent reported they never used Lyft. Most of the women who did use the apps said they used them sporadically.

Alarmingly, many women reported feeling uncomfortable and experiencing harassment and assault during their rides. The full report is available here.
