The company's license to operate will also be suspended in 30 days unless it files an appeal, which it has told Re/Code it plans to do.
As a registered Transportation Network Company with the state, Uber was supposed to hand over buckets of data on September 1, 2014 . Nearly a year later, the information is still missing.
Among the required information that it failed to report:
- The number of customers who wanted accessible vehicles: The company failed to tell the CPUC how many and what percentage of customers requested accessible vehicles and how often it was able to comply with the request.
- The number of rides in each zip code: Uber was supposed to report the number of rides requested and accepted by each driver - per zip code - and the amount paid for each ride. It also failed to report the number of rides that were requested but not accepted.
- The number of incidents involving Uber drivers: Uber failed to hand over the cause of each driving incident.
Other ride-hailing apps turn at least some information over to the utilities commission. Lyft, however, was a bit late with its information and may now face a $30,000 settlement for its late fees. The commission will vote to approve the settlement on July 23.
In a statement to Re/Code, Uber said that it has already provided "substantial amounts of data" to the commission. "Going further risks compromising the privacy of individual riders as well as driver-partners. These CPUC requests are also beyond the remit of the commission and will not improve public safety," the company said.
