Ride Share legal in DC, What about data from ride sharing?

DC passed new legislation for ride sharing services. It will require:

(1) registering with the DC Taxicab Commission

(2) covering drivers with $1 million in primary  insurance

(3) criminal background checks for drivers , and

(4) their cars annual inspections.  

Washington Post points out that local regulations on ride share continuously forego obtianing access to ride share data to strengthen their own transportation systems and provide an understadning of how many jobs ride share is creating. [Washington Post]
