Local News in Brief : Wider Ride-Sharing Law
The Los Angeles City Council’s Transportation and Traffic Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to expand the scope of the city’s ride-sharing ordinance.
The committee endorsed a proposal by Councilman Marvin Braude to extend the requirements of the ordinance to cover companies with as few as 500 employees. The law now requires employers to develop plans to increase car pooling by next May and applies to companies with 700 or more employees.
The council panel also voted Wednesday to require companies with 200 to 500 employees to develop a ride-sharing plan by July 1, 1989. Failure to develop a plan may result in a $100-a-day fine.
