Uber and Lyft are coming to Alaska, but not to the state capital’s Mendenhall Glacier.
Gov. Bill Walker is expected to sign a bill on his desk that will make Alaska the last state to allow the ride-hailing service operations.
But tourists will still have to come by bus or taxi to the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau.
Under House Bill 132, each driver is an independent contractor, responsible for his or her own business licensing.
According to Forest Service regulations, someone running a business needs to have a special-use permit on forest land.
