Relative to public safety and transparency by transportation network companies.

AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance public safety and transparency in transportation network companies (TNCs) in Massachusetts. It defines "non-shared ride" and "shared ride," and prohibits TNC drivers and companies from raising fares or imposing additional charges during emergencies without approval from the state division. The bill also requires TNC drivers to carry proof of vehicle inspections and mandates TNCs to report certain driver information and violations to the division. Additionally, the bill increases penalties for TNC driver violations and prohibits the misuse of rider information. The bill also requires TNCs to submit monthly data to the state division on ride details, which the division can share with government entities for transportation planning and management purposes. Finally, the bill modifies the distribution of funds from the Transportation Infrastructure Enhancement Trust Fund to support municipal transportation infrastructure and small businesses in the taxicab, livery, and hackney industries.
