A California judge has ordered ride hailing app Uber to pay a $7.3 million fine for failing to comply with state reporting requirements.
The information it failed to disclose relates to how accessible Uber vehicles are for disabled riders and details about accidents involving its drivers.
The judge sided with the California Public Utilities Commission which enacted a law in 2013 which requires disclosure of information on accessibility, driver safety, and service.
It said Uber was the only ride-hailing service that failed to provide sufficient data.
The company has 30 days to pay the penalty or lodge an appeal, or it could have its operating license suspended.
Uber said it will contest the fine.
"This ruling — and the associated fine — are deeply disappointing," Uber said in a statement.
"We will appeal the decision as Uber has already provided substantial amounts of data to the California Public Utilities Commission, information we have provided elsewhere with no complaints. Going further risks compromising the privacy of individual riders as well as driver-partners."
"These CPUC requests are also beyond the remit of the Commission and will not improve public safety," Uber added.
