Traffic Ordinance Amendment (No. 142) (Promoting Competition Through Online Ridesharing) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת התעבורה (מס' 142) (קידום התחרות באמצעות תחבורה שיתופית מקוונת)

TL;DRA bill to regulate online ride-sharing networks (such as apps) for ordering paid rides, requiring registration of operators and conditions for managers and drivers.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Traffic Ordinance to exclude carrying passengers in shared vehicles from the definition of "public vehicle" and sets new provisions for the activity of online ride-sharing networks. The online platform will enable contact between customers and drivers, ordering of paid rides from one point to another, and payment. Network operators will be required to register with a registrar to be appointed by the Minister of Transport and Road Safety, and will be required to meet set conditions (being Israeli corporations, without a serious criminal record, with technological capability and cybersecurity). The registration will be valid for five years and can be renewed.
