Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Ridesharing Vehicles and Open Safety Recalls

Transcript
As with all passenger vehicles, ridesharing vehicles can have unrepaired, or open, safety recalls, which could expose customers in these vehicles unknowingly to safety risks. GAO estimated that nationally, nearly 1 in 6, or about 16 percent, of ridesharing vehicles that performed a passenger trip in August 2022 had an open safety recall as of December 2022. The Department of Transportation is working with ridesharing companies to raise awareness of open safety recalls among ridesharing vehicles.
