H 1251 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to transportation network company fees

This bill modifies Massachusetts law governing transportation network companies (like Uber and Lyft). It requires these companies to report monthly ride data by city/town and charge riders a 6.25% assessment on pre-arranged rides (excluding rides booked through public transit programs for eligible riders). Municipalities may impose a $2.25 congestion fee per ride, with funds dedicated to public transit, bike/pedestrian projects, and EV charging infrastructure. The law also mandates clear fare estimates showing surge pricing and shared vs. single-ride costs, while prohibiting local governments from imposing extra licensing requirements on these companies.
