The company denies protections to its low-income, Black and brown drivers — says a candidate who drove for it. Here's why Albany must rein it in.

There’s no cordon toll on cars or trucks, which means zero charge on, and revenue from, the city’s #1 congestion source.

The budget deal Albany reached over the weekend includes the legalization of "transportation network companies" like Uber outside of New York City, but not the transparency measures advocates had called for.

On Friday, Assembly Democrats came out with their version of legislation to legalize Uber outside of New York City, and it includes some critical data transparency measures absent from similar bills put forward by Governor Cuomo and the State Senate.

In letters to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Insurance Committee chair Kevin Cahill, leaders of Transportation Alternatives and the Tri-State Transportation Campaign warn that Governor Cuomo's Uber bill could lead to illegal ride-hail traffic in the five boroughs with no way to assess the problem and rein it in, if necessary.

Just as NYC is poised to get a better understanding of how the burgeoning ride-hail industry is affecting streets and traffic, Cuomo's Uber bill could deliver a major setback.

A bill that Governor Cuomo wants to enact in a special session presents a perfect opportunity to refine how New York regulates for-hire vehicles, but leaked details suggest the administration is about to let it go to waste.

New York City motorists killed four people walking and biking this weekend. One of the victims was struck in a Midtown crosswalk while crossing with the right of way, but NYPD and Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance haven't filed charges against the driver.
