Can OC Enforce New Uber Regs? Officials Worried About Keeping Level Playing Field For Taxi Industry

OCEAN CITY — As Uber grows in popularity in the resort, so too are the number of questions city officials have about what state laws allow in regards to enforcing these app-based ride sharing services, also known as Transportation Network Companies (TNC’s).

Several elected officials, including Mayor Rick Meehan, Councilmen Dennis Dare, Doug Cymek and Lloyd Martin and State Senator Jim Mathias (D-District 38) met with representatives of the Maryland Public Service Commission on Tuesday to find out how to properly enforce recently passed regulations for TNC’s like Uber and Lyft.

If the informational meeting was any indication, it appears while the regulations may be “black and white,” as per the PSC, many still believe those regulations allow companies like Uber to operate in a bit of a ‘gray area.”

  1. Uber lets you pick the driver M or F and see who is picking you up. Unions and democrats hate the fact that the consumer has options. Remember when the OCPD posed as cab drivers to bust people leaving bars and clubs? Will never happen with Uber. One bad vibe and that driver gets no fares.
