Uber Fight Derailed for Now
April 14th, 2015 by Mike Vasilinda
The Florida Senate was set to debate legislation setting ground rules for ride sharing apps today, but delayed the discussion over differences in policy. Hillsborough County Public Transit Commission Executive Director Kyle Cockream says there are three sticking points to any agreement on legislation.
“Those have been the sticking points: the vehicle inspections, the background checks, get good commercial insurance to cover people. We can’t get past that. I’d love to see them operate here in Florida, I’d love to see them operate here in Florida under the guise of good solid public safety.”
The Senate doesn’t meet again until next week.
