"DoorDash will pay $15 to drivers who cover at least 250 miles a week, for example. It's the first time since the US and Israel started a war with Iran that a major delivery app has offered gig workers extra money for gas."
"Rising gas prices have a real impact on Dashers, especially those who are delivering the most. This program is about giving Dashers real savings at the pump."
"Gas represented a major cost for delivery and ride-hailing drivers even before the war with Iran. Unlike full-time workers, gig workers are usually responsible for their own expenses, including gas, car maintenance, and insurance."
DoorDash is introducing a subsidy program for delivery workers affected by rising gas prices. Workers driving at least 125 miles weekly will receive relief payments starting at $5, increasing with mileage. The program, which runs until April 26, also offers 10% cash back on gas purchases for users of DoorDash's Crimson debit card. The national average gas price has risen significantly, impacting gig workers who cover their own expenses. This initiative mirrors a previous program during the gas price surge following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
