The fee tacked onto any ride to or from the Sky Harbor airport has led Uber and Lyft to threaten to discontinue operating at the international hub, and faced backlash from local politicians.
January 17, 2020, 6:09 PMThe Arizona attorney general said he believes the fee violates the state’s constitution.A $4 fee for hailing an Uber or Lyft to or from the airport in Phoenix has garnered a firestorm of reaction from residents and ride-share companies, and now Arizona's attorney general says he believes it's likely unconstitutional.
“We will now take this matter to the Arizona Supreme Court and seek an expedited ruling," he added."This is the most definitive way to provide clarity on the law, protect Arizona taxpayers, and hold the city of Phoenix accountable." He called Brnovich's announcement Thursday"fantastic news for everyone who drives for or uses rideshare at the airport" in a statement.
In a series of tweets, Annie Degraw, the communications director for the mayor's office, defended the fee, blasting the"mind-boggling amount of misinformation being tossed around regarding Lyft and Uber's decision to possibly cease operations" at the airport.
