Pennsylvania Legislator Proposes Bill To Regulate Ride-Hailing Companies

As Uber and Lyft battle it out for ride-hailing supremacy, a Pennsylvania legislator has proposed a bill that legalizes the service and addresses concerns about safety and liability. The expansion of ride-hailing companies, which use a downloaded app and smartphone GPS to match passengers with nearby drivers, has led to the introduction of bills that aim to regulate the services. Sen. Wayne Fontana, D-Allegheny County, reintroduced a bill that legalizes, regulates and licenses "transportation network companies."
