Introducing UberLETTERS

Baseball fans can vote online for their favorite player to make the all-star team. Residents can pay their parking tickets through the city’s secure website without ever stepping foot into City Hall. Yet the Metropolitan Taxicab Commission (MTC), an unelected governmental body in charge of whether uberX will ever be allowed in St. Louis, refuses to accept public comment via email.

In order to provide feedback to the MTC on important policy matters like ridesharing, you may only do so via fax, U.S. mail or by physically dropping off a letter at the MTC office.  And tomorrow is the last day that they will accept such written feedback.

Enter UberLETTERS.

Uber will pick up your written feedback regarding ridesharing and deliver it to the MTC on your behalf.

HOW LETTERS ON-DEMAND WORKS:

1. Toggle to ‘LETTERS’ at the bottom of your app (beginning 12pm on Monday, July 6th)

2. Tap ‘REQUEST LETTERS’

3. In just minutes we’ll pull up ready to deliver your message to the MTC!

PRO TIPS:

It’s disappointing that the Metropolitan Taxicab Commission fails to embrace modern technology like e-mail, at the expense of the good people of St. Louis not being able to voice their opinions.

In true Uber fashion, we are providing a better alternative to make that process as seamless, efficient, and fun as possible. On Tuesday afternoon we will gather all written feedback to hand deliver to the MTC by their July 7th deadline.

St. Louis needs alternative transportation options and the MTC has blocked rideshare services like uberX long enough. Make your voice heard and tell the MTC to welcome ridesharing to St. Louis with modern, responsible regulations like every other major city has done – not create more barriers to block it.

Thanks for your continued support – written and otherwise.
