“Vehicles for hire managed by private transportation companies like Uber have become a significant presence on Toronto’s streets. Drivers of such vehicles often work long hours and are under considerable time pressure, which can lead to dangerous situations. Given their outsized presence on Toronto’s streets, it is important that they receive additional, targeted training to contribute to the safety of Toronto’s streets, among other goals.”
Walk Toronto has written to the General Government and Licensing Committee to support a motion to ensure vehicle-for-hire driver training.
