Bill > H1090

This bill amends the existing laws related to transportation network companies (TNCs) in Massachusetts. It establishes a rider-assessment fee structure for different types of TNC rides, with shared rides charged $0.40, non-shared rides charged $1.20, and luxury rides charged $2.20. The revenue from these assessments will be distributed, with 50% going to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and regional transit authorities, and the other 50% going to cities and towns to address the impact of TNC services on local infrastructure. The bill also prohibits municipalities from imposing additional taxes or licenses on TNCs and their drivers, with some exceptions for the 14 cities and towns that are part of the MBTA service area. The bill creates a Transportation Infrastructure Enhancement Trust Fund to manage the distribution of the rider-assessment revenues.
