Got this email today from Uber that I wanted to share…
As of today, July 31 at 7am, you are no longer able to request an Uber ride in Broward County due to the onerous regulations voted on by most Broward County Commissioners.
The regulations place an unnecessary and substantial burden on Uber and our driver-partners, making it impossible for Uber to continue providing the standard of service you have come to expect and demand.
In his inaugural speech, Mayor Tim Ryan said, “The most pressing issue before us today and in the coming years is how to meet the demands on our county’s transportation needs.” We agree. And we believe that Uber – and our driver-partners – can be part of the solution providing access to safe, reliable rides.
In the coming days and weeks, we will need your help to make it clear to the Board of County Commissioners that this remains an important issue to you, and that you want ride-sharing back in Broward County.
Uber in the rest of South Florida remains unchanged.
Once again, we can’t thank you enough for your support.
