TTA Foundation Presents: MOBILIZING FOR FAIR REGULATION & COMPETITION WITH TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANIES (TNCs)

Mobilizing for Fair Regulation & Competition, prepared by the University Transportation Research Center at the City College of New York (UTRC) in Jan. 2026, highlights the biggest impact on chauffeured transportation. The report reveals the significant regulatory imbalance between TNCs and other types of transportation, specifically the patchwork of strict and often outdated local regulations, higher permit fees, and—critically—limited airport access for chauffeured compared to the more relaxed and flexible regulatory climate of the TNCs. As Uber and Lyft only grow in popularity—and are more aggressively pursuing entry into this space—the need for a more level playing field becomes urgent.
