New Jersey S1797 prohibits transportation network companies from engaging in surge pricing during a state of emergency.
New Jersey S1797 amends existing law to prohibit transportation network companies from engaging in surge pricing during a state of emergency. Surge pricing is defined as charging a higher fare rate than the usual fare rate during times of high demand. The bill specifies that any increase in the fare rate that is in excess of two times the usual fare rate constitutes surge pricing. This prohibition applies to prearranged rides provided by transportation network companies in areas where a state of emergency has been declared.
