费城市长谢瑞尔·帕克提出从2027年1月1日开始对Uber和Lyft征收每次乘车税, 以产生每年4800万美元的收入并帮助弥补该城市公立学校3亿美元的结构性赤字. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker proposes a $1 per ride tax on Uber and Lyft starting January 1, 2027, to generate $48 million annually and help close a $300 million structural deficit in the city’s public schools. 收入将用于防止340名员工的裁员,包括130位教师和110名学校工作人员,并为符合条件的学校雇员提供免费SEPTA通行证. The revenue would aim to prevent layoffs of 340 staff, including 130 teachers and 110 school workers, and fund free SEPTA passes for eligible school employees. 试点项目将帮助居民清理未付款的停车罚单, 并不会为学校关闭提供资金. A pilot program would help residents clear unpaid parking tickets, and funds would not cover school closures. 乘坐共享车辆的公司反对征收这项税, Rideshare companies oppose the tax, warning of higher costs for riders. 城市议会将在4月21日之前对此项措施进行投票.
