Uber Technologies Inc will offer “several million dollars” in compensation to more than 65,000 Uber users, who were charged discriminatory fees due to disability, as a settlement to resolve a lawsuit, the U.S. Department of Justice said on Monday. The lawsuit had alleged that the ride-hailing company violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.

As part of the agreement, Uber said it was committed to waive wait-time fees for riders who certified they needed more time to get to the car because of their disability.
