Bill Summary · HB 6387

Overview: HB 6387, "AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR AND OTHER VEHICLES -- RIDESHARE OR TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANY VEHICLE SURCHARGE", was introduced and referred to the House Finance Committee on June 4, 2025.

Purpose and Intent: The primary goal of this bill is to establish a new surcharge on rideshare or transportation network company (TNC) vehicles operating within the state. The revenue generated from this surcharge would be dedicated to funding infrastructure improvements and public transportation initiatives.

Key Provisions:
- Imposes a $0.50 per-ride surcharge on all trips provided by rideshare or TNC services (e.g., Uber, Lyft)
- Requires rideshare/TNC companies to collect the surcharge from passengers and remit the funds to the state on a monthly basis
- Directs the revenue from the surcharge to a dedicated transportation infrastructure fund, to be used for road maintenance, public transit, and other mobility projects

Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill primarily affects rideshare/TNC companies and their passengers. The per-ride surcharge will result in slightly higher fares for consumers, while the companies will be responsible for collecting and remitting the funds to the state. The revenue generated from the surcharge is intended to benefit the broader public through infrastructure improvements and enhanced public transportation options.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: HB 6387 has been introduced and referred to the House Finance Committee for review and potential amendments. The committee will hold hearings and deliberations before deciding whether to advance the bill to a full legislative vote.
