HR Council Doesn’t Take Action Toward Transportation Code Changes

The Hood River City Council decided not to take any action at this time towards code changes that would allow ride-share companies to operate in the City.  Most of the discussion centered on increases in DUII activity in the community, and whether the options for people to get a ride when they are impaired and not get behind the wheel of a car are available.  Councilor Mark Zanmiller said he would like the solutions to come from the local level.  Local taxi company representatives told the Council they want to be a part of developing more awareness of the rides that are available during the late night hours.
