We write to urge you to strip out a provision in Title I of the BUILD America 250 Act (H.R. 8870), that would endanger consumers across the United States. The provision, which faced bipartisan opposition in markup, would shield rideshare companies from liability for crashes and sexual assaults caused by their negligence. This provision must be removed from the BUILD America 250 Act before it is considered on the House Floor.
Evidence
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved the BUILD America 250 Act by a 62-2 vote on May 22, and the report says the bill still has to go through the full House and Senate before enactment.
The report describes the BUILD America 250 Act as a proposal pending before Congress and discusses provisions still being debated, including calls to reject or amend the legislation.
The report says the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved the BUILD America 250 Act on May 22 by a 62-2 vote, making it eligible for full House consideration, and that it still needed House and Senate approval before reaching the President.
Assessments
The available evidence shows the BUILD America 250 Act had cleared House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on May 22, 2026 and was still pending before full House consideration as of June 10, 2026. There is no evidence that the rideshare liability shield was stripped, nor that Tran had materially advanced its removal, but the promised deadline had not clearly passed because full House consideration had not occurred. The promise is therefore still unresolved rather than delivered or failed.
The available evidence only shows that the BUILD America 250 Act cleared committee and still needed full House and Senate action. It does not show that Derek Tran successfully stripped the rideshare liability shield provision, so the promise cannot be judged fulfilled from this record.
