An Act to reduce congestion and encourage shared rides

This bill updates regulations for ride-sharing companies in Massachusetts to reduce traffic congestion and fund public transit. It establishes specific fees that these companies must charge riders, including a lower assessment for shared rides and higher rates for single-occupancy or luxury trips. The legislation also creates a new Transit Authority Fund to split these collected fees equally between the state's main transit authority and regional transit systems. Additionally, the bill requires ride-sharing apps to clearly display price differences between shared and private rides and allows certain cities to collect a small congestion fee to invest in local transportation infrastructure.
