Transportation Network Companies - Itemized Receipts and Operator Data Reporting

SB 1018 requires transportation network companies (like Uber or Lyft) to provide passengers and drivers with a detailed digital receipt immediately after each ride. The receipt must show the passenger's total fare, the driver's earnings, and any additional fees charged. Additionally, companies must annually report to Maryland's Public Service Commission by February 1 - including the total number of drivers (categorized by full-time/part-time status and hours worked), median driver pay, and demographic data on drivers (including those deactivated). This bill directly affects ride-hailing companies operating in Maryland and aims to increase transparency for both drivers and passengers regarding payments and company operations.
