Ride-sharing has been available in Western New York for just over a year, but the state is still working to improve the service. 

Topics such as safety, price surging and anti-discrimination will be discussed on Monday at a public meeting in Albany. 

The New York State Transportation Network Company Review Board is hosting the meeting to learn about other issues and get feedback across Upstate New York and Long Island. 

Drivers and passengers talked with Spectrum News about the improvements they would like to see in the future. 

Joe Folvarcik is a Lyft driver who says he was fired from Uber for taking his service dog on trips, despite making patrons aware through the app. 

"It's a double standard because we have to sign waivers with Uber and Lyft that we have to accept riders with service animals, but yet we're [drivers] not allowed to have service animals ride with us," said Folvarcik.  "Now Lyft has totally backed me up with having my service animal."

Passenger Wanda Maca says she would like to see stricter policies on the condition of ride-sharing vehicles.

Maca said she believes both Lyft and Uber have done a good job with safety measures, but should work on better technology for drivers. 

"They could possibly make sure their GPS systems that their employees use are updated," said Maca. 

The meeting in Albany is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. at the Empire State Plaza, South Concourse, Meeting Room 6. 

For anyone who cannot attend, comments are welcomed via email (dmv.sm.tnc@dmv.ny.gov) to the state Department of Motor Vehicles through Monday, December 3, 2018.
