(3) A transportation network company driver must transport a service animal when accompanying a passenger with a disability for no additional charge unless the transportation network company driver has a documented medical allergy on file with the transportation network company. Service animals shall be permitted to ride in the passenger compartment of a vehicle. It shall be a violation of this chapter for a transportation network company driver to place a service animal in any part of a vehicle other than the passenger compartment.
(4) A transportation network company may not impose additional charges for service to an individual with a disability.
(5) A transportation network company shall, in an area where wheelchair-accessible service is available, provide passengers with disabilities requiring the use of mobility equipment an opportunity to indicate on its digital network whether they require a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. A transportation network company or an affiliated entity must, if wheelchair-accessible service is available, facilitate transportation service for passengers who require a wheelchair-accessible vehicle by doing one of the following:
(i) connecting the passenger to an available transportation network company driver or other driver operating a wheelchair-accessible vehicle; or
