🧵DPU’s Transportation Network Company Division published the 2023 Rideshare Data Report. You can access the report here: mass.gov/info-details/2… Here are some important highlights to note from the Report. ⬇️

Rideshare companies provided almost 78.7 million rides in 2023, which is a 30% increase from the 60.6 million rides recorded in 2022 in MA.

The total number of trips recorded to begin in Boston has not rebounded since the pandemic: in 2019, 45.3 million rides were provided beginning in Boston. In 2023, Boston pickups totaled 35.6 million rideshare trips.

In 2023, MA collected ~$15.7 million from a $0.20 per-ride assessment on each trip that started in-state.  Municipalities receive half of this amount based on the number of rides that started in their communities. The rest is distributed to the Commonwealth’s Transportation Fund.

The TNC Division oversees rideshare companies, services,& drivers in MA by conducting driver background checks, auditing & permitting companies to provide rideshare services. Thanks to the TNC Division staff for their good work, creating safer conditions for riders and drivers.

184 of Massachusetts municipalities achieved more rideshare pickups than in 2019, before the pandemic. The cities with the highest volume of pickups compared to 2019 are Brockton, Fall River, Lowell, Lawrence, New Bedford, and Worcester.

.Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities’s Order 20-80 made history by requiring utilities to prioritize electrification. With the new Office of Energy Transformation & Advisory Board, we're ready to execute this vision. Ending reliance on costly, dirty fossil fuels and centering our ratepayers & communities.

Today, we honor the long-standing stewardship of Indigenous Peoples over Massachusetts’ land, air, water, flora, and fauna. Our work to advance environmental justice is stronger with Indigenous leadership and collaboration.
