Councilmember Mary Cheh (D-Ward 3) announced today that she’ll introduce new legislation at the upcoming Council session that will effectively nullify the new regulations issued by the D.C. Taxicab Commission that made the operations of uberX —Uber’s low-cost venture that uses mid-sized, fuel efficient vehicles instead of luxury sedans—illegal.

Cheh—who’s known for being quite the champion of Uber—plans to introduce the new legislation at the September 17 Council session (Clarification: Cheh won’t introduce the legislation when the council meets again on September 17, but “sooner rather than later,” Cheh’s spokesperson tells DCist), and it will directly address the DCTC’s latest regulations to pass that clarified the vague definition of a sedan, which made it illegal for uberX’s fleet of Toyota Hybrid’s and Prius’ to operate.

In an email to DCist, Cheh’s spokesperson Devin Ward couldn’t provide additional details about the proposed legislation, other than “no determination yet has been made by the Councilmember on whether the legislation will be introduced as regular legislation or emergency legislation.” But given Cheh’s staunch support of Uber and distaste of the DCTC, it’s fair to say change will happen sooner rather than later.

In a Post editorial (which basically serves as Cheh’s manifesto regarding the DCTC), she said that “…the time may have come to assess the role of the cab commission and whether it provides the best way to shape transportation policy.” Could this be the end of the DCTC? We’ll see.
