New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo, is expected to announce plans to expand ride-hailing services to New Yorkers who live outside New York City. The proposal would involve a regulatory plan for ride-hailing companies such as Uber and Lyft being overseen by New York, and firms being audited to ensure they comply with current laws. Efforts last year to expand ride-hailing to upstate New York stalled over insurance costs, and questions still remain over Cuomo's proposals regarding how much insurance companies would need their drivers to have.
