  • Emissions from the Taxi and For-Hire Vehicle Transportation Sector in New York City
    Emissions from the Taxi and For-Hire Vehicle Transportation Sector in New York City Authors (listed alphabetically) Jen Roberton Senior Transportation Policy Advisor, City of New York, Mayor’s Office of Sustainability [email protected] Stephan Schmidt (Former) Policy Analyst, City of New York, Taxi & Limousine Commission (Current) Senior Manager, Climate Change, CDP [email protected] Rodney Stiles Head of Policy, Populus Technologies [email protected] Abstract The launch of app-based for-hire vehicle (FHV) services like Uber and Lyft has led to increased mobility options, but the associated increase in vehicular traffic has also presented challenges. In New York City, the number of FHVs tripled between 2010 and 2019, to over one hundred thousand, due to the advent of such companies. This study seeks to understand the impact this increase in FHV usage has had on greenhouse gas emissions in New York City. The study uses data collected by the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission, which regulates the FHV and taxi industries, and the NYC Mayor’s Office of Sustainability, which publishes the City’s greenhouse gas emissions inventory. The main result of the study is that although the overall per-vehicle efficiency of the fleet has improved, the high growth in registered vehicles has led to emissions from FHVs and taxis increasing 66 percent from 2010 to 2018. Electric vehicles present an opportunity for emissions reductions in New York City’s FHV fleet if barriers to vehicle adoption are adequately addressed and if adoption of EVs does not outpace vehicle attrition. Keywords: Sustainability, TNC, For-Hire Vehicle, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, New Mobility, Uber, Lyft Roberton, Schmidt, Stiles Introduction Unprecedented growth in mobility options has fundamentally changed transportation in major cities.

CROTTY, United States District Judge: This case involves a dispute between New York City taxicab fleet owners and the City’s Taxicab & Limousine Commission (“TLC”), relating to new TLC regulations that promote the purchase of hybrid taxicabs by reducing the rates at which taxicab owners may lease their vehicles to taxi drivers—thus reducing the owners’ overall profit—if the vehicle does not have a hybrid or clean-diesel engine. The questions in this case are whether the TLC’s new rules are a mandate to taxicab owners to purchase only hybrid or clean-diesel vehicles, and whether such a mandate is preempted by federal law. The history of this case is relevant: on October 31, 2008, the Court preliminarily enjoined New York City’s requirement that all new taxicabs meet a specific miles-per-gallon (“mpg”) 1 Case 1:08-cv-07837-PAC Document 104 Filed 06/22/2009 Page 2 of 37 rating.
