LulaRoost Zero Tolerance Policy
No LulaRoost driver may be under the influence of any amount of alcohol or drugs while logged in to the app or giving a ride. A report of impairment takes the driver offline at once. A confirmed violation removes the driver from LulaRoost permanently.
This is LulaRoost's zero tolerance intoxicating substance policy under Code of Alabama §32-7C-30 and the Alabama Public Service Commission's rules. It is posted at lularoost.com/zero-tolerance.
1. Who it covers
-
Every LulaRoost driver, from the moment they log in to the app until they log out. That includes time waiting for a ride request, driving to a pickup and driving between rides.
-
Every vehicle used for LulaRoost rides.
2. What is prohibited
While logged in to the LulaRoost app or giving a ride, a driver may not:
-
drink any alcohol, or drive after drinking any amount
-
use or be under the influence of any illegal drug, including marijuana
-
drive while affected by any medication or other substance that impairs driving, even a legal one
-
carry an open container of alcohol in the car's passenger area
A driver who has had any alcohol or drugs, or who feels impaired for any reason, must stay logged out.
3. How to report a violation
-
In an emergency, call 911.
-
During a ride. A rider who believes the driver is impaired can ask to end the ride and get out as soon as it's safe, then use the app's safety button.
-
After a ride. Report it from the trip receipt (Report a safety issue > Driver impairment), or email safety@lulalous.com.
-
To the state. Anyone can file a complaint with the Alabama Public Service Commission's Utility Enforcement Division at psc.alabama.gov.
-
Other sources. Reports from police, LulaRoost staff and other drivers are handled the same way.
4. Immediate suspension
The moment LulaRoost receives a report that a driver may have violated this policy, the app takes the driver offline and blocks new ride requests. The suspension lasts until the investigation is finished.
5. Investigation
-
Notice to the driver. LulaRoost tells the driver about the suspension within 24 hours, with the reason, without naming the rider.
-
Review. LulaRoost speaks with the rider and asks the driver for a statement. It reviews the trip's GPS data (speed, hard braking and route), any police report, any dash camera footage the driver shares, and earlier reports.
-
Timing. LulaRoost finishes the investigation within 14 business days.
-
Decision. The driver receives a written decision with the reason, in the app and by email.
6. Corrective measures
| Finding | Action |
|---|---|
| Violation confirmed | Permanent removal from LulaRoost, with no reinstatement. The driver may not open a new account. |
| Not confirmed | The driver is reinstated, and the report is kept on file. |
| A second report within 12 months that isn't confirmed | A management review before reinstatement. LulaRoost may require the driver to pass a drug and alcohol test, at LulaRoost's cost, before going back online. |
| A rider is found to have reported in bad faith | The rider may lose access to LulaRoost. |
7. Appeals
A driver may appeal a decision within 30 days, in the app or at safety@lulalous.com, as Section 11 of the Driver Agreement provides. A staff member who wasn't part of the original decision reviews the appeal and decides within 14 business days.
8. No retaliation
No one is penalized for making a report in good faith.
9. Notice and training

Public notice. This policy, and how to report a violation, is posted at lularoost.com/zero-tolerance and summarized at the top of lularoost.com/safety. Every page of the website links to the Safety page, and the app's Help menu links to this policy.

Drivers. Every driver reviews and accepts this policy before their first ride, and again at each yearly re-check.
