RIDE SHARING COMPANIES IN NEW MEXICO SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO KEEP RECORDS OF THEIR DRIVERS’ DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING. THAT’S WHAT ATTORNEY GENERAL HECTOR BALDERAS IS TELLING THE PUBLIC REGULATION COMMISSION. TAXI COMPANIES IN THE STATE ALREADY FACE THAT REQUIREMENT. BALDERAS SAYS, IN THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY, IT’S IMPORTANT THAT COMPANIES LIKE LYFT AND UBER ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME REQUIREMENTS AS OTHER MOTOR CARRIERS.
