That the Executive Director of the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (Transportation and Infrastructure) report to this Board on any discussions with our state legislative delegation to increase the per-ride assessment that companies like Uber and Lyft pay to the Commonwealth Transportation Infrastructure Fund, and how this Board could advocate for the increase so that Somerville and other cities heavily impacted by ride-sharing traffic receive more than the current amount of ten cents per ride from the state Department of Public Utilities.
