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

This bill prohibits ride-sharing companies in New Jersey from using surge pricing during declared state emergencies, such as natural disasters or other emergencies declared by the Governor or President. It directly affects transportation network companies like Uber and Lyft, their drivers, and riders who use these services. The law defines surge pricing as charging higher fares than usual during high-demand periods and restricts this practice only when a state of emergency is officially declared. The bill amends existing transportation regulations to add this specific restriction while maintaining transparency requirements for fare calculations.
