Nashville rideshare drivers sign petition accusing city transportation officials of racial profiling, unfair ticketing

More than 160 Nashville taxi, Uber, and Lyft drivers have signed a petition led by the Tennessee Drivers Union, accusing the Nashville Department of Transportation and Tennessee Licensing Commission of racial profiling, unfair ticketing, and harassment. Drivers report receiving $100 tickets up to five times weekly during passenger loading/unloading and demand the removal of specific officers, including Alex Hartman and N. Nave, from downtown enforcement.
