(b) Notwithstanding the car-sharing termination time, the assumption of liability under subsection (a) of this section does not apply to a shared-vehicle owner if the shared-vehicle owner: (1) Makes an intentional or fraudulent material misrepresentation or omission concerning coverage of the shared vehicle to the peer-to-peer car-sharing program before the car-sharing period in which the loss occurred; or (2) Acts in concert with a shared-vehicle driver who fails to return the shared vehicle under the terms of the peer-to-peer car-sharing program agreement. (c) Notwithstanding the car-sharing termination time, the assumption of liability under subsection (a) of this section applies to bodily injury, property damage, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, or personal injury protection losses suffered by damaged third parties as required in § 27-22-104 .

Adequate and efficient public transportation is essential to the well-being of many of our state's citizens and the economic growth of both urban and rural areas. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to have a general public transportation policy which encourages the planning, development, implementation, operation, and evaluation of efficient and coordinated transportation systems, both public and private. While the leadership and coordination in the development of public transportation policy and programs is vested in the Arkansas Department of Transportation by statutory authority, a number of departments, agencies, and other legally constituted bodies are involved in the implementation and operation of public transportation services, and the policy and programs should be developed with their advice and recommendations.
