We need your help to email Supervisor Mandelman and make sure to encourage zero-emission vehicles in San Francisco!
The Problem
- Transportation sector accounts for 45% of GHG emissions in San Francisco
- Uber and Lyft are taking up increasingly large section of the transportation pie
- Only 1% of Uber and Lyft vehicles currently are zero-emission vehicles
- In polls, approximately 68% of San Franciscans are concerned about the congestion Uber and Lyft cause. Approximately 84% are concerned about emissions.
Mothers Out Front’s involvement
- We want Supervisor Mandelman to introduce an amendment to the ballot measure that provides a 0% tax on rides in zero-emission vehicles whether they’re shared or not, and for 6 supervisors to pass it in July
- We will be meeting with supervisors individually to encourage them to take the lead and advocate for an amendment to the proposed legislation.
