It looks like Uber is coming to Iowa City.

The city council approved an ordinance amendment that loosens restrictions for ride-sharing companies at its meeting Tuesday evening. The amendment requires transportation network companies to get a license from the city, sets requirements for getting that licenses and sets the process for revoking it.

Taxi companies have not been happy about these changes. City staff plan to meet with taxi companies a second time to discuss possible changes to the current taxi regulations.

The city will provide more information about this at the May 3 meeting.
