Law introduced allowing ride sharing services in Sask.
Legislation has been introduced by the Wall government that will allow ride-sharing companies such as Uber to establish their businesses in Saskatchewan.
The provincial government revealed in October’s throne speech that a law would be coming in this regard, not only to give people another transportation option but to also provide another choice to get home safely after drinking.
“The fight against impaired driving is a priority for our government, and Saskatchewan people have told us this will provide another option for them to get home safely,” Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) Joe Hargrave said in a news release.
“This legislation provides a framework for licensing and insurance, sets out appropriate safeguards for the public, and gives municipalities the authority to determine the right public transportation mix for their communities.”
