Section 56 TNC Data Collection 2

Said section 1 of said chapter 159A½, as so appearing, is hereby further amended by inserting after the definition of "prearranged ride" the following definition:-

"Shared ride", a prearranged ride for which each rider requests or accepts a request to share the prearranged ride with one or more riders, and for which each rider is charged a fare that is calculated, in part, based on the rider's request or acceptance of a request to share all or part of the prearranged ride, regardless of whether the rider actually shares all or part of the ride with one or more riders.

This section, along with three others, empowers DPU to obtain more specific categories of ride data from Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) in order to assist planning agencies and other state and local entities with transportation planning, congestion management, and vehicle emissions tracking.
