Commissioner David Do discusses the TLC's GreenRise initiative and progress towards sustainability goals in the taxi and for-hire vehicle industry.
- The TLC aims for 100% of trips to be dispatched by wheelchair accessible vehicles or electric vehicles by 2030.
- Currently, one in five trips in New York City is either wheelchair accessible or electric, exceeding initial expectations.
- The TLC is working towards having 15% of trips be in electric or wheelchair accessible vehicles by the end of 2025.

So, you know, again, we're incredibly proud of our sustainability efforts to get to 100% of trips dispatched wheelchair accessible vehicle or a EV, excuse me, by 02/1930.

We hope by then, there will be an electric wheelchair accessible vehicle, that, we we can adopt into the rules.

Meeting our goals, two years ahead of schedule.

By the end of twenty twenty five, we were thinking 15%.

Now, one in five trips in New York City, is either wheelchair accessible or electric.
0:55:34
And that's a good thing, for our city.

We hope, to continue that, and exceed expectations and even meet those guidelines, earlier.
