Uber\u2019s decision to not offer wheelchair-accessible service in every US market does not violate the federal law prohibiting discrimination against disabled individuals, a federal judge ruled this week. <\/p>\n

The ruling represents a win for the ride-hailing service, which has been criticized by disability advocates<\/a> for providing only limited wheelchair-accessible service in a handful of cities. <\/p>\n

Two motorized wheelchair users, one in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the other in Jackson, Mississippi, sued Uber over the lack of accessible service in either city. Both plaintiffs use wheelchairs that can\u2019t be folded and placed in a trunk. They claimed that Uber was in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which prohibits businesses from discriminating against people based on their disabilities. <\/p>\n
