As a sponsor of this legislation to expedite ridesharing services in time for Independence Day celebrations statewide, I am pleased the Senate has passed this measure and call on the Assembly to bring this measure up for a vote. I would like to congratulate and thank my colleague Senator Ranzenhoefer for his sponsorship of this bill to bring ridesharing to Western New York in a timelier manner that will not only help curb drunk driving but also help support businesses and community celebrations of our nation’s independence.
