Houston-Uber Deal Goes Through.


The City of Houston has signed a deal with Uber, ensuring the service remains in the city and that customers of those services can be ensured they are in a safe environment.

The City of Houston’s deal with Uber has been a long-time coming but now a deal has been made that can satisfy both sides. If you think about it, being alone with and relying on an Uber driver can be a dangerous situation. Which is why the city is requiring background checks for drivers, fire extinguishers in their cars, requiring drivers to pass drug tests, have a warrant check for drivers and documenting the driver’s fingerprints. The fingerprints were the hard sell for Uber but the company ultimately agreed to them. The breakthrough provided the city with an excellent transportation service which the city ensures will be safe for use. I am very happy with the decision; we have handled this one well.
