AB 1360: Charter-party carriers of passengers: individual fare exemption.

The Passenger Charter-Party Carriers Act generally requires charges for transportation offered or afforded by a charter-party carrier of passengers to be computed and assessed on a vehicle mileage or time-of-use basis, rather than on an individual-fare basis, subject to certain exemptions.

This bill would also exempt from these provisions a rideshare program service operated by a transportation network company or a charter-party carrier of passengers that prearranges a ride among multiple passengers who share the ride in whole or in part, provided that the vehicle seats no more than 7 passengers, not including the driver, is operated by a participating driver, as defined, is not used to provide public transit services or carry passengers over a fixed route, and is not used to provide pupil transportation services or public paratransit services, and the fare for each passenger is less than the fare that would be charged to a single passenger traveling alone.
