Traffic Ordinance Amendment (Online Ridesharing Services) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון פקודת התעבורה (שירותי תחבורה שיתופית מקוונת)

TL;DRA bill to regulate online ride-sharing networks in Israel through registration of operators and drivers under defined conditions.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill adds a new chapter to the Traffic Ordinance regulating the operation of online ride-sharing networks. Network operators must register with the Ministry of Transport, on condition that they are corporations registered in Israel, their management members have no serious convictions, and they have paid a fee. Drivers with a valid driver's license over the age of 21 will be able to join the network, in coordination with the network operator. Network operators must offer an online interface for ride requests, verify driver and vehicle details, provide trip certificates, and allow ratings. The bill preserves the rights of existing taxi license holders and maintains a compensation fund for those harmed by the entry of the new service.
