UBER SUSPENDING OPERATIONS IN BROWARD COUNTY ON JULY 31

Since Uber came to Broward County last August, thousands of local drivers have provided more than one million safe rides throughout the county. And during that time, dozens of states and municipalities have embraced innovation and consumer choice by passing sensible ridesharing regulations.

Unfortunately, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners has taken the opposite approach, creating one of the most hostile regulatory environments in the nation. It is impossible for Uber to continue providing the high standard of service and affordability the community has come to expect under the burdens of these unnecessary regulatory barriers. Rather than provide substandard service, we have decided to suspend operations while we seek a path forward.

As a result, you will no longer be able to request a ride in Broward County, starting on July 31. You will still be able to get dropped off in Broward, and Uber will remain as reliable as ever in Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties.

It is our hope that the Board of County Commissioners will revisit the issue and pass a sensible regulatory framework in line with the more than 50 other jurisdictions that have created a permanent home for ridesharing in their communities.

We are committed to Broward, and we will need your help as we work hard to bring back the Uber you know and love. Stay tuned for updates on our progress.
