Transportation Network Companies (TNCs)

Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) are digital platforms, like Uber or Lyft, that connect passengers with drivers using a mobile app. Drivers use their personal vehicles to provide transportation services on demand. TNCs facilitate the booking, payment, and communication process, acting as intermediaries between riders and drivers. They operate under specific regulations and often require background checks, vehicle inspections, and licensing. TNCs offer a convenient, flexible alternative to traditional taxis, expanding access to transportation through technology, while shifting some responsibilities for safety and regulation onto the platform.
