Limo Safety: New Belts, Inspections, and Data Transparency

New regulations aim to enhance limousine passenger safety by mandating seat belts and improved structural standards. Limo modification companies will need to submit safety plans, and operators must disclose vehicle inspection results. The goal is to protect the lives and health of citizens using limousine services.
Key points
Mandatory Seat Belts: All seating positions in limousines, including side-facing seats, will require integrated lap-shoulder belts or lap belts.
Inspection Transparency: Limousine operators must publicly disclose the dates and results of recent vehicle safety inspections, including on their websites.
Safety Plans for Remodelers: Companies modifying limousines will be required to submit annual plans detailing how they ensure vehicle safety, and these plans will be publicly available.
Safety Research: Research will be conducted on limousine side impact protection, roof crush resistance, airbag systems, and evacuation aids in case of an accident.
Event Data Recorders: Limousines will be required to have event data recorders (black boxes) to assist in accident analysis.
