(WLBT) - A Fondren man has lost his legal battle to require Uber to provide wheelchair-accessible vehicles in Jackson. Crawford joined the suit later, saying that Uber also refused to provide the service in Jackson, the largest city in the Magnolia State. “Uber made no sincere attempt to provide accessible service, but instead claimed it was too burdensome,” he said. Crawford is calling on state lawmakers to mandate ride-share services to provide WAV accommodation during next year’s legislative session. In 2016, the Mississippi Legislature approved a bill regulating ride-share services, but the law did not mention that companies be ADA-compliant.
