Transportation Network Companies (TNCs)—businesses such as Uber and Lyft who offer on-demand rideshare services typically through a mobile application—have become an increasingly popular mode of transportation throughout the United States. While acting as an alternative option to traditional taxi services, the propagation of TNC services has also led to increased congestion, particularly in major urban areas. To combat the negative effects of congestion and find new revenue to support transportation infrastructure many states and localities have begun imposing fees on TNCs, typically assessed per-ride or as a percentage rate.
ARTBA’s Transportation Investment Advocacy Center has created a one-page guide on TNC fees.
