Uber and Lyft can once again legally operate in Virginia after the companies reached a temporary agreement with commonwealth officials.

According to a release from Governor Terry McAuliffe’s office, the temporary legal framework created after discussions with the ridesharing companies, Attorney General Mark R. Herring’s office and the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles includes several requirements like “extensive background checks for drivers,” “a review of driving history” and “rigorous insurance requirements, including requiring drivers to maintain automobile liability insurance, maintaining on behalf of all drivers an additional $1,000,000 of coverage from the moment a driver accepts a trip request until the passenger leaves the vehicle, and liability insurance for drivers who are logged onto the companies’ software but not providing services.” The Virginia DMV issued a cease-and-desist letter to both Uber and Lyft in June, but both companies continued to operate.

“I knew there had to be a better way to ensure the safety of Virginia passengers,” Attorney General Herring said in the release. “These companies offer services that Virginians want, but it just wasn’t acceptable for them to operate without complying with regulations or other measures to help ensure the safety of passengers and motorists. I’m proud that we were able to get folks back to the table and get them talking again, and now we’ve shown that Virginia can be responsive to innovative businesses while promoting public safety and the rule of law.”

But as Uber pointed out in an email to supporters, the temporary agreement is just that: temporary. “We’ll need your voice again in January when legislators are back in session to make sure they pass legislation that permanently allows us to operate,” Zuhairah Washington, Uber DC’s general manager, and regional general manager Rachel Holt said in the email.
