City postpones cap on Uber’s growth pending study
Four-month reprieve
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration announced Wednesday a deal that postpones a cap on Uber’s growth for four months. During that period, Uber has agreed to a study on the impact of its cars on traffic and the environment.
Uber also committed to making more of its vehicles handicap-accessible and to turn over additional data to the city about its rides.
The mayor and the City Council had wanted to impose a one-year cap while studying the ride-hailing service’s impact on traffic.
