Bill > HB1523

This bill establishes new excise fees for transportation network companies (TNCs) like Uber and Lyft, creating different fee structures based on where rides originate. For TNCs operating within a city of the first class (which typically means Philadelphia), the bill mandates a 4.6% fee on gross receipts from prearranged rides originating in that city. For TNCs operating outside such a city, the fee increases to 6% of gross receipts from prearranged rides. These fees must be remitted quarterly to the Public Transportation Trust Fund, which will use the revenues to support public transportation programs. Specifically, the bill amends titles 53, 66, and 74 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to add these new fee provisions and specify how the collected funds will be allocated. The new excise fees are designed to generate additional funding for public transportation infrastructure and services, with all revenues from these fees being directed to support the operating program established under existing transportation legislation. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
