Uber finally released its analysis Thursday morning of the City of Ottawa’s proposed taxi reforms, with the city’s insurance proposal giving the international ride company the biggest concern.
The company wants to see the city require $2 million of non-owned automobile insurance coverage, rather than $5 million. The city’s consultant, KPMG, recommended $2 million in coverage, but the city’s legal department is recommending $5 million.
Uber released its analysis to council just hours before the community and protective services committee hears public presentations and debates the staff proposal to legalize “private transportation companies,” a separate licensing category from conventional taxis.

Adequate insurance coverage will be one of the issues councillors are expedited raise when it comes to PTCs. Uber points out it continues to work with Intact Insurance on ride-sharing insurance, but it hasn’t been approved by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario. The commission has, however, approved a ride-sharing produce from Aviva, but it limits the amount time Uber drivers spend working.

It appears Uber is content with the rest of the city’s proposal, which includes an annual brokerage fee and 10.5-cent per-ride commission paid to the city.

Cabbies started lining up at least two hours in advance of the committee meeting, which starts at 10 a.m. There was plenty of uniformed and plain-clothed security watching over the building.
Dozens of people are expected to address the committee during a marathon session. The meeting could spill over to Friday morning.
