On Wednesday the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) fined Uber subsidiary Raiser-CA $7.3 million for failing to report accessibility, safety, and service information to the commission in 2014. Raiser-CA provides services through UberX, and it has 30 days to appeal the decision or pay the fine. Uber told Re/code that it will appeal.
The CPUC said that an Administrative Law Judge ruled against the Uber subsidiary for failing to report how many UberX users requested accessible vehicles, as well as how many accessible rides UberX was able to provide. Raiser-CA also did not provide information about rides requested or rides denied, nor did it report the amounts of money that were paid for those rides. Finally, the CPUC said, Raiser-CA did not provide the commission with any information about accidents that involved a UberX driver.
Raiser-CA and other transportation firms like it were given a year to provide that information from September 22, 2013. “Rasier-CA, Uber’s subsidiary, is the only TNC that has failed to comply with the CPUC reporting requirements,” a CPUC press release stated.
