The ride-hailing company failed to comply with regulators' demands for information about sexual assault claims by customers and drivers over nearly two years.
Uber Technologies Inc. has agreed to pay a $9-million settlement for its failure to comply with requests from California regulators for information about sexual assault claims made by its customers and drivers over nearly two years.approved Thursday between the California Public Utilities Commission, Uber and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network — a nonprofit organization that works with Uber on sexual misconduct training for drivers — will also support passenger safety initiatives.
“We’re glad the full commission has adopted this agreement, which was developed in collaboration with CPUC staff and experts from RAINN. Most importantly, we can move forward with a solution that preserves the privacy and agency of survivors,” Uber spokesperson Jodi Kawada Page said in a statement. In December 2019 Uber disclosed it had received roughly 6,000 reports of sexual assault in the United States over the course of two years. The disclosure was made in response to widespread criticism of the company’s safety practices by legislators and advocates.
