A deal has been reached between the City of Tuscaloosa and Uber that will allow the ride-sharing service to return to town. News of the deal was published by The Tuscaloosa News on Monday.

According to their article, the council voted on the amendment earlier this week. However, the agreement must wait to be finalized because of a single vote against it by District 5 Councilman Kip Tyner.

Unanimity is not required for council votes, so if the arrangement is approved again next week, Uber services may return to the city in as little as 30 days.

Tyner said his opposition to the amendment stemmed from a portion of the legislation that would allow a $5,000 business license cover for Uber drivers in Tuscaloosa. Tyner said he believes Uber drivers should obtain individual business licenses, which is already required of local limousine and cab drivers.

In 2014, Uber left Tuscaloosa. Some University students, however, strongly believed the company should return.

Jonathan Hess, a senior majoring in finance and former SGA vice president of external affairs, said he began working to bring Uber back to Tuscaloosa as early as May of 2015.
