Nevada Regulators Want to Fast-track Drafting of Uber rules
Nevada transportation regulators say they’ll seek to fast-track regulations for ridesharing companies such as Uber and Lyft.
Members of the Nevada Transportation Authority voted 2-1 on Thursday to petition Gov. Brian Sandoval for emergency status.
Agency spokeswoman Teri Williams said Sandoval’s permission would allow officials to get regulations in place and start accepting ride-hailing company applications by a June 29 deadline set by the Legislature.
Bills allowing for ride-hailing passed the Legislature after much debate. One imposes a 3 percent fare tax projected to raise more than $70 million over two years.
