Anchorage Assemblyman wants to regulate rideshares like taxicabs

South Anchorage Assemblyman Bill Evans is working on an ordinance to regulate ride shares like taxicabs.  Ride shares drivers will be required to have a municipal chauffeurs license like cab drivers do.  Ride share will have to have local dispatchers like cab companies  in case the driver has an emergency.  Anchorage Taxicab Permit Owners Association has felt that Ride Shares will have to follow the same rules as taxicab drivers.  This ordinance will have them follow the same rules.  I hope this ordinance will make them happy.
