A 3288 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits transportation network companies from engaging in surge pricing during state of emergency.

This bill prohibits transportation network companies (like Uber or Lyft) from using surge pricing during declared states of emergency, such as natural disasters. It bans any fare increase exceeding twice the normal rate for rides during these emergencies. The law applies to all prearranged rides booked through digital platforms and requires companies to disclose standard fares to riders beforehand. This directly protects riders from price spikes when they need transportation most during crises.
