Last Tuesday, November 18th, 2014 The Anchorage Assembly passed an ordinance stating that Uber Alaska could compete before that happens the Anchorage Transportation Inspector and Municipal Attorney must issue a method of understanding for Uber Alaska to do business. We also need to make sure no representatives from the Anchorage Taxicab Permit Owners Association are in the room. The main reason is they want to protect their no value taxi permit that most of their members paid pennies on the dollar for.
In this method of understanding they need to make sure their chauffeurs are licensed, each car is marked so if a car does drives to fast they can be called in and complain. They must allow the Anchorage Transportation Inspector to check their cars to make sure they are in compliance. They must scrap their customer rating system. They must have cameras in the cab. They need to tell their drivers they must purchase commercial drivers insurance which all taxi drivers do as well. All drivers must pass a criminal background check. They must admit they are a taxi service.
