Why would this not be required for non-rideshare taxis? That seems odd.


It seems like an awkward rephrasing of an awkwardly-worded statement:

> Build on efforts to electrify the city vehicle fleet by requiring the 100,000-plus high-volume for-hire vehicles to do the same — requiring them, with the support of Uber and Lyft, to be zero-emissions by 2030, with no new costs for individual drivers;

Here’s a quote from the city page “Today, we are announcing that Uber and Lyft will be required to have a zero-emissions fleet by 2030”

Unless they are purposely being obtuse it seems like they aren’t requiring taxis.
