TNC Inspections for Lyft vehicles
TNC Lyft vehicles are required to obtain this new TNC inspection at the vehicle’s next annual inspection, or within 12 months of obtaining a transportation driver certificate.
The TNC inspection is expected to be done at the same time as the regular annual inspection because the vehicle must have passed its annual inspection and have an attached certificate of inspection (540 CMR 4.04) prior to the TNC inspection.
Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles requires Lyft vehicles to have an additional inspection of vehicles being used by drivers of TNC (Transportation Network Companies).
