PPV driver applicants that hold out-of-state driver's license. For the driver applicants that do not hold an Oregon driver's license, other states, such as California, provide notifications for driver's license holders similar to the notifications the City receives front the Oregon DMV. If a P'PV driver holds an out-of-state driver's license in a state that offers the same type of notification offered by the Oregon DMV, the City's reason for requiring an Oregon driver's license can be satisfied by signing up for that state's notification system. For the PPV driver applicants that hold a driver's license from a state that does not have a notification system, the City intends to periodically check the driver's record throughout the year to ensure that the driver is remaining compliant with the City's Rules, After a year of allowing PPV driver applicants to hold any valid state -issued driver's license, the City will evaluate whether the Rule change resulted in new public safety concerns. 6. Comment re ardinj4 the difference between the definition of a "Public Passenger Vehicle Driver" and the definition of a "Trainsportation Network Driver." One comment received asked why the definition of Public Passenger Vehicle Driver is limited to employees, but the definition of a Transportation Network Driver includes both employees and independent Contractors. Findings. The City's 'Rules define "employee" as, "[a]ny person employed for remuneration or under any contract for hire, written or oral, express or implied, including independent contractors. All persons who drive public passenger vehicles, including any person who has ownership interest in the company, shall be considered employees of the public passenger vehicle company for purposes of this Rule." Thus, use of the term "employee" covers independent contractors. However, in response to this comment and for purposes of consistency, the definition of Public Passenger Vehicle Driver has been changed to reference both employees and independent contractors. 7. Comment regarding the ability to contact a TNC company with a complaint. Findings. The proposed Rules require operators of all public passenger vehicle companies to maintain a record of all complaints lodged against the operators and/or personnel. The contact information for each company should be accessible on their website. If a person is unable to contact a PPV company they would have the option to contact the City to file a complaint. 8. Comments regarding the different trade dress requirements for hailable vehicles versus non-hailable vehicles. Findings, The purpose of the City's trade dress requirements is for the public's safety. The primary concern is that vehicles be clearly marked so that a passenger can easily recognize the vehicle prior to entering. Hailable vehicles may be summoned without the use of a dispatching system, necessitating the need to have mat -kings more easily visible than a non-hailable public passenger. No changes are being made to the proposed Rule amendments as a result of these comments. Exhibit A to Administrative Order 53-18-08-F Findings in Consideration of Written Submissions - Page 4 of 5
