As many of you know, the Fairfax Climate Action Committee conducted a survey last year of Town Residents for ways we can work together to get us to zero emissions by 2030.
One thing we did NOT ask about is the idea of electrifying ride-sharing programs. There is a growing movement among jurisdictions to require this. Uber is moving towards this goal already, as you can see HERE.
Transportation experts are all over the place about how transportation will evolve in the next decade - we have ride-sharing, electrification, autonomous vehicles. We have carpooling, we have public transport, we have bicycles.
As we try to de-carbonize, and to do it in ways that support all sectors of society, this idea of requiring all commercial ride-share services to be fully electric is interesting. Since we didn't ask in our survey - What do you think??
Thank you!
