Lyft in the Florida Keys

In July of 2017 it finally became legal and viable for Lyft, Uber and other TNC’s (Transportation Network Companies) to operate in the Florida Keys. The reason for this was the passage of a new law – Florida Statute 627.748. This new law established that state law would control the TNC industry. Prior to the passage of FS 627.748, the TNC industry was subject to the whims of city and county authorities.

In South Florida, Broward County led the fight against Uber and Lyft. Palm Beach County and Miami-Dade County basically sat back and watched. In the course of the “Uber Wars” in Broward, Uber and Lyft suspended operations in Broward. This led to a public outcry directed at the county commissioners. The taxi and limousine industries were also targeted. Ultimately, concessions were made by the Broward County Commission and the issue was resolved in favor of the TNC’s.

In the Florida Keys, similar attempts were made in local and county levels to prevent TNC’s from operating in the Monroe County and the Florida Keys. This is a familiar battle to the Florida Keys. It is similar to the attempts to ban and/or regulate Airbnb rentals. But once Florida Statute 627.748 was enacted, local and county authorities lost their authority to regulate the TNC’s such as Uber and Lyft.
