California regulators have approved rules that regulate ride-sharing services, becoming the first in the nation and creating a precedent for other states to follow. The vote by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) was unanimous.
These rules will affect popular services like Lyft, InstantCab, and Sidecar, along with UberX. Based on today’s decision, drivers will need to obtain a permit from the CPUC, undergo a criminal background check, successfully pass a driver training program that each company is required to set up, and adhere to a zero-tolerance policy on drugs and alcohol. Each company must also offer insurance coverage.
