New deal with Uber on South Fulham cameras.
THE COUNCIL PUBLISHED THE FOLLOWING ON 7 MARCH (2024)
‘We have worked with Uber, and other ride-hailing apps, for over three years on a range of measures to ensure residents in the Clean Air Neighbourhood are picked up and dropped off at their homes. This has included:
Upgrades to in-car navigation systems to enable drivers to reach all addresses without going through the cameras.
Empowering residents to give drivers access through the cameras during a journey using the RingGo app.
Guaranteeing no private hire vehicle driver will be fined if they provide details of the trip involving a drop off or pick up in the area.
We have now signed an agreement with Uber on a technical solution which allows its drivers to go through the South Fulham cameras without penalty to pick up and drop off residents.
We are also in talks with other ride-hailing apps who have expressed interest in doing the same.’
