Technology
The emergence of tech in all aspects of our lives has led to a host of exciting new possibilities for the delivery of good and services, and with them unprecedented challenges for State legislators and regulators. Beginning in 2015, ASA represented Lyft and helped to enact the ridesharing law, which allowed for the insurance, public safety, penalty and revenue provisions necessary to authorize ridesharing companies to offer their services in New York. Since then, ASA has branched out to represent several diverse app-based, fintech, and tech trade associations on issues as varied as labor, privacy, net neutrality, public safety, traffic congestion, and innovative financial products in a new and ever-changing landscape.
