Transportation Network Company (TNC) Emission Reduction Requirements

By October 1, 2023, the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) TNC Division was required to promulgate requirements for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and vehicle electrification for TNCs. As part of these requirements, TNCs must submit biennial plans to increase zero emission vehicles and reduce GHG emissions to meet state emission reduction goals. The promulgated requirements were required to be in effect by April 1, 2024. The TNC Division must minimize any adverse impacts the requirements may have on drivers from low- and moderate-income communities.

For more information, see the DPU TNC Division website.
