§ 2217 Local Passenger Transportation Rules

This law lets cities and towns make their own rules for passenger transportation, as long as those rules don’t conflict with the state law and they give at least as much protection to passengers as the state rules do.

Key Takeaways

  • •Local rules are allowed if they don’t conflict and can be stricter than the state law.
  • •If a local rule repeats or adds to the state law, it just adds more options and doesn’t stop the state law.
  • •The state law only works if it doesn’t clash with federal law.

Example

A city wants to require all ride‑share drivers to have extra safety checks.

The city can do that because the state law only sets a minimum, and the city rule gives more protection, so it’s allowed.
