Baker to address 
Boston chamber

Gov. Charlie Baker will ask business leaders for their best ideas on technology, education and regulation reform when he addresses the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce this morning for the first time since being sworn in, an administration official told the Herald.

Baker is expected to discuss how the Bay State's economy is partly affected by factors beyond the state's control, so it must work hard to pursue things it can guide, such as energy policy, education and regional economies, the official said.

The speech will also mention several news stories that occurred since Baker was sworn in, including the arrests of Interstate 93 protesters, last week's blizzard and Boston's naming as a finalist to host the 2024 Summer Games.

Uber legislation in works

Gov. Charlie Baker will create licensing regulations around for-hire car services such as Uber and Lyft in an effort to protect riders' and drivers' safety, the administration announced yesterday. Baker said drivers for the ride-for-hire companies could continue to operate while his administration works on legislation.

The governor will work with Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh and Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone — two cities where the service is commonly used — to draft the regulations. The licensing proposal will require background checks of drivers, proper safety checks of all vehicles and adequate insurance coverage.
