Troxclair uses city transportation audit to expose lack of Uber/Lyft foresight

District 8 City Council member Ellen Troxclair (Southwest Austin) is making good use of Monday's audit report that calls into question the city's approach to transportation problems.

In a letter to city transportation Director Rob Spillar, Troxclair heaped another log on the fire: Is the city prepared and equipped to make good on new regulations designed to ratchet down on Transportation Networking Companies such as Uber and Lyft?

These proposed regulations are on the chopping block on the May 7 local election ballot -- a vote Yes would support the status quo, whereas a vote No would support expanding regulations.

We include Troxclair's letter below. If you haven't voted yet, we strongly encourage you to review this.
