Transportation Network Providers - Trips - 2018

data.cityofchicago.org | Last Updated 11 Mar 2022

All trips, starting November 2018, reported by Transportation Network Providers (sometimes called rideshare companies) to the City of Chicago as part of routine reporting required by ordinance. Census Tracts are suppressed in some cases, and times are rounded to the nearest 15 minutes. Fares are rounded to the nearest $2.50 and tips are rounded to the nearest $1.00. For a discussion of the approach to privacy in this dataset, please see http://dev.cityofchicago.org/open%20data/data%20portal/2019/04/12/tnp-taxi-privacy.html.
