[News] Regulations on Ride Sharing - California
In the case of ride-sharing, such as Uber, there are legal disputes in many countries. Roughly speaking, it is largely considered illegal in Europe and Asia, and so are Canada, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. In the U.S., on the other hand, services are allowed in many states, except in several states such as New York and Oregon. Especially in California, where ride-sharing platforms such as Uber have developed into independent concepts by defining them as 'TNCs', the state's Public Works Commission (PUCs) has become the main body, leading to the legalization of Uber.
A ride-sharing platform operator must pay $1,000 and receive Permit from the PUC in order to do business in California. The license expires in three years, and if you pay $100 up to three months before its expiration and apply for an extension, the permit will be extended for an additional three years. The requirement for a permit is an obligation to sign up for insurance The ride-sharing business subject to this authorization is limited to the use of smartphone apps and the use of privately owned vehicles from the supplier, and the vehicles supplied should not be owned by the platform operator. However, there is no limit to the number of suppliers on the platform. Meanwhile, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs over the past seven years, fraud, sex crimes, and the use of cars in committing felonies, as well as theft and theft of property.
Supplier must be at least 21 years old and have a valid driving license in California. You must also have at least one year of driving experience. You do not need to have a special license such as a taxi license. Providers must also be insured and must submit a certificate of insurance policy to the platform operator when registering as a supplier. It is required that there will be both an insurance policy and a commercial access insurance policy for the subscriber. The reasons for disqualification are as follows. Those convicted of risk driving, drinking under the influence of alcohol or drugs shall not be suppliers. Nor shall they be suppliers if the penalty score exceeds three points in violation of other regulations, such as equipment problems, overspeed, and the use of baby seats.
As an action regulation, the platform operator's duties include: The platform operator shall create a program to educate the suppliers and shall obtain the supplier's operating records at the time of supplier registration to ensure that he has more than one year of driving experience. Subsequently, the supplier's operation records shall be verified every year. On the other hand, the personal information of passengers shall not be leaked except in the event that the passenger has expressed consent, is legally obligated, or that the PUC is required to submit the complaint by taking secret protective measures to resolve. It is also obligatory to disclose the first name and picture of the driver to be the supplier, the photograph of the vehicle model to be used, and the photograph of the license plate so that passengers can identify it. In addition, the platform operator shall search the multi-state criminal history inquiry system or similar commercial national criminal history database certified and the list of sex offenders on the Justice Ministry's official website to investigate the supplier's criminal history in advance. The survey is then required to use social security numbers, not just the name of the supplier. If a person is registered as a sex offender on the official website of the Ministry of Justice, has committed violent serious crimes as specified in section 667.5 of the Criminal Act, or has committed crimes such as arson, manufacturing, distribution of illegal weapons, or possession of banned biological agents (Section 11413, 11418.5, or 11419 of California Pen Code), the provider shall not receive the provider. The platform operator shall provide information related to the supplier's obligations to comply with through its website and platform app. Examples include driving under the influence of drugs such as drinking and giving instructions that there will be unconditional sanctions, and contact information that can be reported by passengers if the effects of the drug are suspected. Inspection of vehicles is also required, and the platform operator is required to be inspected by a third party recognized by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair for 19 items below.
It is illegal for several people to share a ride. In addition, the California PUC, in particular, has declared an active effort to introduce wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAVs), as the disabled should also be equally accessible to ride-sharing services.
The supplier shall affix a sticker containing information about him in front of the passenger seat during operation and shall mark the vehicle so that it can be recognized outside 50 feet that the vehicle is being used as a ride-sharing vehicle. Information on the distance travelled shall be submitted voluntarily to the platform operator, as the vehicle shall be inspected every 12 months, including non-operating cases, or on a day prior to 50,000 miles of travel. One provider cannot respond to street calls, not calls by apps, but can only make prearranged shipments. That's the biggest difference between a California ride-sharing and a taxi.
