Regulatory Trend for Ride-Share: $7.3M Uber Fine. Information Reporting.

 California Public Utilities Commission, which has oversight of ride share and taxis, ordered Uber to “pay a $7.3 million fine and hand over required information about safety and accessibility — or shut down in the ride service’s home state.”

Other ride share companies had provided the California Public Utilities Commission information, including:

• number of customers requesting rides in vehicles  accommodating people with disabilities
• how often they complied with requests from people with disablities
•  the number of rides requested & accepted within each ZIP code
• report the cause of every traffic incident involving one of their drivers.

Next step: Appeal of the fine.
