The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has passed laws for the operation of a TNC within the state. These laws involve the following:
Licensing, permit and certification requirements
Mandatory Lyft and/or Uber decals on a vehicle’s front and back passenger-side windshields
Insurance requirements, including vehicle liability and workers’ compensation insurance
Minimum TNC driver age requirement of 21 years old, with at least one year of driving history
Department of Motor Vehicle record checks required for all TNC drivers
Annual background checks required for all TNC drivers
Mandatory driver training programs to ensure drivers are safely operating their vehicles
Accessibility plans for individuals with disabilities
A Zero Tolerance Policy for drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Required vehicle inspections once per year or every 50,000 miles, whichever comes first
Prohibition against TNC drivers accepting street hails from potential passengers
Prohibition against TNC drivers transporting more than seven passengers per ride
If Uber, Lyft or another ridesharing company is found to be delinquent in following any of these laws, it could face penalties. The CPUC accepts complaints from the public regarding ridesharing services or drivers who are in violation of any of the state’s TNC laws.
California is not Colorado nor is it federal. I don’t think you understand the things you’re saying since you don’t seem to grasp, as you put it, the regulations are “often state-specific.” You linked California, not Colorado, which this article is in reference to. Even in the beginning, you didn’t seem to grasp why regulation and some level of understanding about what people should or shouldn’t do is reasonable to have defined. Good luck!
Yeah in the US. There are too many different laws and regulations for me to list since they’re often state specific. Take California for example:
