(ALBANY, NY) – New York State Senator Chris Jacobs (SD-60) has co-sponsored Senate bill 1264, which provides for the regulation of transportation network company (TNC) services and establishes the New York state TNC Accessibility Task Force.
“I am very proud to co-sponsor this important piece of legislation for Buffalo and Western New York,” said Senator Jacobs. “When you couple this legislation with the Governor’s support, we are building real momentum needed for swift passage of ridesharing.”
The bill would establish a framework to regulate and provide proper insurance for transportation network companies and drivers. Specifically, it authorizes the issuance of automobile insurance policies to TNC’s, establishes requirements an individual must meet to qualify as a driver and provides for workers compensation insurance for drivers as well as other provisions.
