(1) Where transportation network services are offered, a transportation network company must take reasonable steps to ensure that the service provided by each transportation network company driver who utilizes the digital network is offered in a nondiscriminatory manner. A transportation network company may not unlawfully discriminate against a prospective passenger or unlawfully refuse to provide service to a certain class of passengers or certain localities.

A transportation network company or an affiliated entity must facilitate transportation service for passengers who require a wheelchair-accessible vehicle by doing one of the following:
(2) Each transportation network company shall report to the authority, by December 31 of each calendar year, the programs and best practices the transportation network company has implemented to improve the accessibility of service to individuals with disabilities, including the availability and use of wheelchair-accessible vehicles. If, upon review of the report, the authority concludes that transportation network companies operating in the city are not collectively having a positive impact on the availability of wheelchair-accessible transportation services, the authority may, until December 31, 2022, require the combined class to add up to an aggregated 10 additional wheelchair-accessible vehicles per year.
