Housing and Transit
One Thing Silicon Valley Can’t Seem to Fix

By Chris Elmendorf, Rick Frank and Darien Shanske, SF Chronicle, April 26, 2018

California lawmaker wants all Uber, Lyft cars to be electric by 2028
Senate Bill 1014 from Sen. Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley) would set goals for the electrification of ride-hailing cars over the next decade, and set aside up to $300 million to help subsidize the purchase of electric cars by ride-hailing drivers.
Update
AB 1745 has been withdrawn; legislators do this to keep the bill alive for future re-introduction. It was facing opposition in the Assembly’s Transportation Committee. You can help: check the committee roster and if your representative is on the list, write or call to say you support the Clean Cars 2040 Act and want the committee to pass strong air quality legislation.
AB 1745: No new gas cars registered in California after 2040
If the Clean Cars 2040 Act–AB1745 is approved, only zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) will be allowed to register after January 1, 2040. The Act will allow California to meet its climate goals such as AB32 which requires a 40% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2040.
