The Ride Responsibly™ campaign is the National Limousine Association’s initiative to bridge an industry-wide gap between the rights of passengers and the responsibilities of service providers.

Ride Responsibly™ has established the best safety practices for prearranged car services (Boston Chauffeur) and transportation network companies (TNCs), which include ride-hailing application car services, such as Lyft, Sidecar, Uber and Whisk. The program focuses on educating the industry and the public about regulations, legislation and best industry practices.

The goal is to empower and inform the public at-large as well as provide drivers and operators with the necessary tools to Ride Responsibly™.

Why Ride Responsibly™ Is Important to Your Safety

Ride Responsibly™ statistics prove that ride-hailing services are a real concern to many passengers:

• 83% of Americans believe that ride-hailing app drivers should have to pass regular drug testing.
• 91% of Americans believe ride-hailing app drivers should have the appropriate commercial license as well as vehicle liability insurance. Regardless of the situation, all drivers should decide to compare uber insurance to help them get the right amount of coverage so that Americans can feel more comfortable with getting into a car with them.
• 83% of Americans believe ride-hailing app drivers should have to undergo criminal background checks.

Reported Ride Sharing Incidents in Massachusetts:

“Due to the perilously incomprehensive background checks used by ride-hailing apps, we must establish a new nationwide standard, inclusive of fingerprinting for all ground transportation providers.“ – Ride Responsibly™
