(b) Vehicle requirements.--No vehicle being used to provide transportation network service may be older than 10 model years old or 12 model years if the vehicle is an alternative fuel vehicle as defined in section 2 of the act of November 29, 2004 (P.L. 1376, No. 178),  1 known as the Alternative Fuels Incentive Act, and has been driven no more than 350,000 miles.
