See “Point Austin” at right, and more on pages 14-15. RIDESHARING WORKS IN Austin brought news that the group accrued more than 65,000 signatures for a petition to force a referendum to limit regulations on TNCs in Austin. That same day, Uber raised the minimum fare for local rides by at least $3 per ride. COUNT ’EM ALL: Saturday marks the annual “Point-in-Time” count of Austin’s homeless popu- lation, part of a national federal effort to accurately measure the amount and conditions of homeless- ness across the country. The Ending Community Homelessness Coalition is working toward 600 volunteers for teams to complete the early morning PIT count, which in recent years has reflected a slow N but steady decline in Austin homelessness.
