Summary

"Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) researchers Ginger Goodin and Maarit Moran outlined the agency's latest research on transportation network companies (TNCs) for members of the Texas Senate Committee on Business and Commerce on Mar. 14. Goodin, the director of TTI's Transportation Policy Research Center, outlined in her testimony how TNC operations have expanded rapidly in cities worldwide, in some cases creating disruption in the transportation marketplace. TTI Associate Transportation Researcher Moran is responsible for multiple ongoing studies that examine the emerging regulatory environment for TNCs. Committee members were considering one of several bills now before the Texas Legislature on the topic of TNC operations. In presenting his proposed legislation, SB 176, State Sen. Charles Schwertner, the bill's author, noted the value of TTI's research on the issue." --TTI PRC News, https://tti.tamu.edu/policy/tti-experts-brief-legislators-on-ride-hailing-company-research-port-infrastructure-issues-exports/
