Apparently the DOJ sued Uber because they were charging people with disabilities late fees when they had trouble finding the car or took alot of time getting in the car. I don’t knowif any of you had a similar problem but I thought you might be interested. I have attached the email below.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Today, the United States Department of Justice filed in court a multi-million dollar settlement resolving its lawsuit against Uber Technologies Inc. The DOJ lawsuit alleged that Uber was in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act by charging wait-time fees to individuals with disabilities who may need additional time finding and getting into their car. Under the agreement, Uber will compensate riders with disabilities who were charged wait-time fees due to their disability. Additionally, Uber has committed to waving wait-time charges for riders who certify that they, or a person they frequently travel with, have a disability and need additional time to get into their car due to the disability.
