Today marks five years since the murder of Samantha Josephson, a Robbinsville native who attended college in South Carolina when she got into a fake Uber after a night out.
Josephson's death sparked new legislation that aimed to make ride share services safer.
Sami's Law requires that all rideshare services are required to adopt digital systems that allow passengers to verify the vehicle before they get into the car. It also makes it illegal to sell ride-hiring signs without authorization, and it creates a U.S. Department of Transportation council to ensure safety measures stay current.
