Uber says it will appeal the decision, which said L.A. had 'properly suspended' the company's permit in dispute over real-time trip data.
The 13-page decision is a blow to Uber’s subsidiary Jump, which has beenagainst a data-sharing rule imposed by the city’s Transportation Department.
“We have been clear for months that we have serious privacy concerns about LADOT’s requirements to collect real-time, individual trip data on our riders in Los Angeles,” White said. “We believe that best in class data aggregation methods could deliver LADOT near-real time data — while protecting the identity of Los Angeles residents and our riders.”The city requires that companies transmit real-time data on the start point and end point of each trip, and the full route of each ride within a day.
The data is used to determine which companies are flouting the permit program’s rules, including flooding some neighborhoods with vehicles and leaving scooters parked in areas where they shouldn’t be, the city has said. Officials have also argued that the companies cannot be trusted to regulate themselves.
Uber appealed the decision. The appeal was heard last month by David B. Shapiro, a lawyer who has handled appeals for multiple city departments, including the Los Angeles Fire Department and the Department of Cannabis Regulation.
