Taxi owners and operators have formed a new statewide group to fight Uber and other so-called ridesharing companies as they continue their push to new cities and towns across the state.
The Massachusetts Regional Taxi Advisory Group wants to work with communities to ensure Uber and similar companies such as Lyft don't have an unfair advantage because they don't have to follow the same requirements as taxis.
"These entities have been allowed to operate outside the regulatory model," spokesman Stephen Regan said.
It's become a familiar complaint of taxi companies as Uber and similar services expand. Boston has formed a Taxi Advisory Committee to overhaul its rules, and a proposed plan by Cambridge officials to regulate Uber led to heated hearings over the summer.
"Massachusetts riders and drivers deserve better than the current regulatory system that does nothing to embrace more choice and opportunity," said Uber Boston general manager Meghan Verena Joyce.
Uber recently announced it would begin operations in Worcester.
"There are 351 cities and towns in Massachusetts, and most of them have regulations," Regan said. "We'll be taking a multi-jurisdictional approach."
