Odessa Council expands safe ride rules for ride hail firms
Odessa approves an ordinance requiring ride hailing firms like Uber to keep records and provide them to police within seven days after lawful orders. The measure allows annual record audits, requires driver insurance of at least 1 million dollars, and imposes a 1500 dollar annual license fee. Midland approved a similar rule with a 1500 dollar fee after debates over background checks and safety.
