Nevada Approves Rules For Ride-hailing Companies

A Nevada board has adopted final regulations for ride-hailing companies, although there are still more steps before companies like Uber and Lyft are on the roads.

The Nevada Transportation Authority adopted the detailed rules on Friday, several months after state lawmakers passed a law authorizing the companies.

The panel is meeting again on Monday to review applications specific to Uber and Lyft.

It's still not clear when ride-hailing companies will be on the road in Nevada. Sen. Michael Roberson has said lawmakers intended them to be operating by this summer, but officials from Clark County have said they want to pass their own ordinance requiring a local business license for such companies.

That could prevent ride-hailing companies from operating there for several more weeks.
