Transportation Network Companies - Weekly Fare and Earnings Summary and Operator Data Reporting

HB 861 requires transportation network companies (like Uber or Lyft) to provide drivers and passengers with an itemized digital receipt immediately after each ride. The receipt must show the passenger’s total payment, the driver’s earnings from that payment, and any additional fees charged. Additionally, companies must report annual data to Maryland’s Public Service Commission by February 1st, including the number of drivers working full-time, part-time, or over 40 hours weekly, median driver pay, and demographic information about drivers (including those deactivated). This bill directly affects ride-hailing companies, their drivers, and passengers in Maryland, aiming to increase transparency in fare breakdowns and workforce data.
