    To help meet demand for affordable, reliable and safe transportation services, a provincial approach to ride sharing services will also help ensure consistency in regulation and enforcement.

    Government is now accepting applications from operators interested in offering ride sharing services in the province. Ride sharing providers will be required to follow the same rules and safety standards as taxi services in order to operate. To help meet demand for affordable, reliable and safe transportation services, a provincial approach to ride sharing services will also help ensure consistency in regulation and enforcement. Premier Andrew Furey says, “Local transportation options are in high demand and government looks forward to a ride share option soon becoming available to locals and visitors alike.” The application is available at gov.nl.ca
