Last week’s story “TNCs: Disrupted Market, Disrupted Council” contained an inaccurate detail concerning the insurance coverage plans belonging to both Uber and Lyft. Both companies offer primary coverage to drivers at any point in which they’re actively engaged in commercial activity – from the moment a connection has been made to the moment the transaction is complete – not just any point in which they’re providing a ride to a customer.

In the story “S-Comm Emails,” an editor inadvertently used an illustration of a deputy Travis County sheriff’s badge that included a specific badge number associated with a particular reserve officer. We have replaced that illustration online with a TCSO insignia, and the story neither made nor intended to make any association of the report with any TCSO personnel other than Sheriff Greg Hamilton, quoted in the story. We apologize for any confusion.
