S 3398 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits price discrimination for transportation network company services.

S 3398 prohibits transportation network companies (like Uber or Lyft) from charging different fares for the same type of ride based on factors unrelated to the service itself. The bill requires companies to charge all riders the same fare rate for a specific ride category (e.g., standard car service), regardless of circumstances like a rider’s phone battery level or payment method selected. This directly affects ride-hailing companies operating in New Jersey and their riders by banning discriminatory pricing practices. The law amends existing regulations to ensure consistent pricing for prearranged rides through digital networks. It does not address surge pricing during high demand, which is defined separately in the bill.
