Climate Change Bill Hits Ride Share.

What’s the deal? in Washington State’s HB 1075 (2021 | WA), a provision requires the state Department of Ecology to set mandatory emission reduction targets for ride-hailing services. It’s the California system from 2018.

Why should we care? Studies have shown that ride share increases emissions. The bill will require companies to report annually on emissions reductions.

How can this impact me? Requiring private companies to report on compliance is popular in the state quest for information and the cleansing power of sunlight.
