The Ride Responsibly™ campaign is an initiative to bridge the gap between the rights of passengers and the responsibilities of service providers.
Ride Responsibly™ will establish best safety practices for prearranged car services and transportation network companies (TNCs).

Additionally, all chauffeurs are required to undergo extensive drug and alcohol testing, and criminal background and DMV checks.
