TPPF statement on the Austin City Council Mobility Committee’s recommended rideshare regulations
The Austin City Council’s Mobility Committee this week recommended new regulations affecting ridesharing companies in the City. The proposed rules would require transportation network companies such as Uber and Lyft to put signage or other “trade dress” on their vehicles; submit all vehicles to the same 20-point vehicle inspection required of taxis and limousines; disclose their trip data to the City of Austin; and fingerprint all prospective drivers.
