Keep Austin mobile.

Uber and Lyft are coming back to the capital of Texas after the state passed sweeping ride-hailing rules that negated the city's more stringent driver checks, according to a local Austin ABC affiliate.

They are both slated to resume service on Monday.

Uber and Lyft both left Austin a little more than a year ago when the city's residents voted to require fingerprint checks as part of background checks required of drivers.

Since then, the city has seen a variety of smaller startups look to get a foothold — as well as the city's own app, Ride Austin. That app has proven popular with drivers, and could remain a challenger to Uber and Lyft.

Lyft is also working to return to Austin soon.

The state of Texas recently passed statewide rules on ride-hailing companies that rendered Austin's rules null. Drivers will still need to go through background checks, but fingerprint analysis will not be part of the process.
