A TNC is an entity that uses a digital network or software application to connect passengers to transportation network services provided by a TNC driver. Current statute outlines responsibilities that a TNC must undertake prior to permitting a TNC driver to accept trip requests, which includes:

1)   requiring the person to submit an application;

2)   conducting a local and national criminal background check for the applicant;

3)   obtaining and reviewing the applicant's driving history report; and

4)   requiring TNC vehicles used by TNC drivers to meet state vehicle safety and emissions standard for private vehicles and have at a minimum an annual brake and tire inspection (A.R.S. § 28-9555).

An on-demand autonomous vehicle network is a passenger transportation network that uses a digital network or software application to connect passengers to fully autonomous vehicles for transportation, exclusively or in addition to other vehicles, including transportation for hire and transportation for compensation (A.R.S. § 28-9701).
