Ride Sharing Safety Tips These days, it’s very likely that you or someone you know has used a ride-sharing service that uses your phone and a mobile application or app to connect you to private vehicles for-hire similar to a taxi service. So the questions is no longer whether ride-sharing services are here to stay, but whether community members are using them with safety in mind. • Plan ahead before you request a ride. Think about where you’re going, and review the app’s safety features so you know how to use them. • Get in the right car by first verifying that the licence plate, driver photo and name all match what’s listed in the app. • Be a backseat rider, especially if you’re riding alone, to ensure you can safely exit on either side of the vehicle and to give you and the drive personal space. • Buckle up to reduce injuries or even save your life in case of a collision. • Share travel details with a friend or family member so they can track where you’re going. Most apps let you share the driver’s name, photo, licence plate and location with someone you know. • Protect your personal information, because there’s no need to share any of your contact info with the driver. • Trust your instincts and use your best judgment. If you ever feel you are in danger or in an emergency situation, call 911 immediately. • Provide feedback on how your trip went, as it helps improve the ride-sharing experience for others and holds the driver accountable.
