On-demand passenger transport review
There are changes to the on-demand small passenger transport industry with the passing by Parliament of the On-Demand Passenger Transport Services Industry (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2020 . These changes are designed to promote safety, increase competition and consumer choice, provide for the delivery of services, accommodate new technologies and, where appropriate, reduce the regulatory burden on industry.
The changes will:
- create a modern level playing field for all small passenger industry operators, and
- ensure that existing and new service providers, consumers and community more broadly, are well positioned to face the challenges and seize the opportunities that come about as new business models and technologies continue to emerge.
The Department of State Growth is now implementing the changes.
