Bill Summary
Relative to transportation network company rider assessments. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill amends the laws related to transportation network companies (TNCs) in Massachusetts. It defines key terms such as "peak hours," "occupied vehicle miles traveled," "shared-ride," "single-occupancy ride," "unoccupied vehicle miles traveled," and "Zero Emission Vehicle." The bill requires TNCs to provide clear and conspicuous transportation fare estimates, including during surge pricing and high demand times, and to show the price difference between shared-rides and single-occupancy rides. The bill also imposes penalties for TNC drivers who violate cruising regulations, and empowers the state to promulgate regulations regarding data sharing, public safety, and transportation planning. Additionally, the bill establishes a Transportation Infrastructure Enhancement Trust Fund, funded by per-mile and per-trip assessments on TNCs, and specifies how the funds will be distributed to address the impact of TNC services on municipal infrastructure and support the taxicab, livery, and hackney industries.
