AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts law on transportation network companies (TNCs) such as Uber and Lyft. It defines key terms like "peak hours," "occupied vehicle miles traveled," "shared-ride," "single-occupancy ride," and "zero emission vehicle." The bill requires TNCs to provide clear and transparent fare estimates, including during surge pricing. It also imposes a per-mile assessment on unoccupied vehicle miles traveled during peak hours, with the revenue going to a Transportation Infrastructure Enhancement Trust Fund. The fund will be used to address the impact of TNCs on municipal infrastructure, support the taxi and livery industries, and contribute to the Commonwealth Transportation Fund.
