2023.EC6.6

Background

“The transportation sector as a whole represents an estimated one third of the city’s total emissions, of which the VFH industry contributes 4-6% of total transportation emissions. The VFH industry, which encompasses taxicabs, limousines, and private transportation companies (PTCs) such as Lyft and Uber, has a unique opportunity to be a leader in zero emission transportation, as VFH on a per-vehicle basis travel three to four times the number of yearly kilometres driven by private passenger vehicles.”
