AI Summary

This bill aims to encourage shared rides to and from Logan Airport in Massachusetts. It does this by: 1. Requiring the Massachusetts Port Authority to promulgate rules for the operation of transportation network vehicles (such as ride-hailing services) at the airport to ensure passenger safety and effective transportation services. 2. Mandating that any transportation network company offering pooled rides (where multiple passengers share a ride) must offer the option of a pooled ride from Logan Airport. 3. Establishing a Logan Airport Congestion Mitigation Fund, which will be funded by a $3 per ride assessment on transportation network companies for certain rides to and from the airport. The fund will be used by the City of Boston to address congestion and transportation impacts in East Boston related to these services. 4. Defining the term "Pooled Ride" in state law to mean a for-hire ride shared by two or more passengers who are each charged the same or a proportionate amount.
