Overview
Per statute, the Transportation Network Company (TNC) Division of the Department of Public Utilities must collect a $0.20 per-ride assessment on all TNC rides originating in the Commonwealth. In 2017, there were approximately 64.8 million rideshare trips started in Massachusetts which resulted in a $12.8 million assessment from TNCs. Half of this amount was distributed to MassDevelopment and the Commonwealth's Transportation Fund while the other half was distributed to Massachusetts cities and towns based on the amount of rides started in each community.
If your municipality has not yet reported on the use of these funds, or if you have any questions about the disbursement of these funds, please contact us at DPUTNCReports@mass.gov. Funds collected as a result of the per-ride assessment for 2018 were disbursed in May of 2019.
Featured Reports
Boston
$3,491,147.60
These funds will be used to advance a number of key projects identified in Go Boston 2030, the City’s long term mobility plan. Together, the funds will help us achieve three strategic goals:
- Increase Safety on our Streets
- Expand Access to Quality Transportation Choices
- Improve the Reliability of our Transportation Network
Cambridge
$678,236.60
Based on the requirements of Chapter 187, City staff discussed options for expending these funds, and determined that we would use the entire amount to fund a portion of the costs of the Inman Square Intersection Improvements Project, an approximately $7 million safety and mobility improvement that the City has planned and designed over the last three years. This project is consistent with the City's Vision Zero and Complete Streets policies, both of which were unanimously adopted by the Cambridge City Council on March 21, 2016.
Salem
$29,648.20
Following public voting through a participatory budgeting initiative (www.salem.com/shift) Salem residents approved funding the installation of in-ground or similar types of lighting at busy downtown crosswalks and enhanced lighting for certain downtown walkways and sidewalks. These projects, consistent with the City's complete streets policy, will help encourage more pedestrian activity to get to and through Salem's walkable downtown.
