TNC Bills Move Forward In New Jersey, Pennsylvania

Two bills have passed New Jersey and Pennsylvania lower state legislatures regarding TNCs and will be considered by both state senates in the coming weeks over legalizing TNCs, including an array of restrictions, taxes, background checks and other rules and regulations—as well as compromises.

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives on Wednesday, Oct. 19 overwhelming approved a bill that would provide permanent authorization to TNC services Uber and Lyft and legalize their operation in Philadelphia.

Under the terms of the bill, a 1.4 percent tax on all Uber and Lyft rides would be divvied up between the School District of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
