Emissions Reduction Requirements for Transportation Network Companies (TNCs)

Through the California Clean Miles Standard and Incentive Program (Program), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will establish annual emissions reduction targets for TNCs, including goals for increasing the number of miles traveled using zero emission vehicles. CARB began implementing targets and goals for the Program in 2023. Every two years, each TNC must develop a greenhouse gas emissions reduction plan, including proposals on how the company will meet the Program’s requirements. A TNC is defined as an organization that provides prearranged transportation services for compensation using an online application or platform to connect passengers with drivers using a personal vehicle. For more information, see CARB’s Clean Miles Standard website.
