Take Action This Week: Support uberX in NOLA

Last week, the City Council delayed a final vote to bring uberX to New Orleans. Every day the Council takes to deliberate is another day without safe, reliable, and affordable transportation for residents and visitors. They are also denying job opportunities to the hundreds of people who are ready to drive.

At Uber, we are fighting to make sure we have no further delays and we continue to advocate for an amendment package that would enable us to operate efficiently and responsibly in New Orleans. But, we need your support to get uberX across the finish line.

This Wednesday, the City Council Transportation Committee will hold a special meeting to discuss these amendments. We’re counting on you to tell City Council to amend the ordinance and create sensible regulations so that we can bring uberX to New Orleans.


HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT UBERX


TELL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO SUPPORT uberX

Ask City Council to vote for amendments that would enable Uber to bring uberX ridesharing to NOLA. Share what having ridesharing in New Orleans would mean to you, and why having access to an additional safe, reliable way to move around town is important to the community.
