policy, the company shall suspend the alleged driver's ability to accept trip requests through
the company's digital network immediately and shall conduct an investigation into the
reported incident. The suspension shall last the duration of the investigation.
C. The company shall maintain records relevant to the enforcement of this
requirement for a period of at least two years from the date that a rider's complaint is
