Urging Turo, Inc., To Immediately Cease And Desist Listing Any State Airport Parking Lot As A Vehicle Pick-up Site On Turo's Digital Platform.
Impact
If enacted, SR155 would necessitate immediate compliance from Turo to stop advertising airport parking lots for vehicle pick-ups until proper regulatory frameworks are established. The resolution calls for a comprehensive legislative solution to address the issues arising from Turo's business practices and their impact on local airport services. It formalizes the recognition of the necessity for regulations that manage the parking of peer-to-peer shared cars at airports in the state, aligning commercial activities with transportation planning.
Summary
Senate Resolution 155 (SR155) urges Turo, Inc. to cease its practice of listing state airport parking lots as vehicle pick-up sites on its platform. The resolution is in response to increasing concerns regarding the insufficient number of parking spaces available at public airports throughout Hawaii. It highlights how online car-sharing platforms, particularly Turo, have exacerbated this parking scarcity, prompting legislative action to regulate such commercial activities at airports. The resolution underscores the existing statutes that require commercial activities at public airports to be permitted by the Director of Transportation.
Contention
One notable aspect of SR155 is its explicit intention to highlight the need for data collection regarding Turo’s operations and their effects on local communities, emphasizing the importance of understanding the impact of car-sharing platforms on parking availability. The resolution requests Turo conduct a six-month observational study regarding their practices at airports during peak travel periods, hinting at the complexities involved in balancing modern transportation needs and regulatory frameworks. This approach signifies legislative support for a more structured mechanism to regulate such businesses while ensuring that the needs of the local population are considered.
