Low Emission Taxi Incentives - San Francisco
The San Francisco Taxicab Commission has committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the San Francisco taxi fleet by 20% by 2012, as compared to 1990 emissions levels. Under the Clean Taxi Program, companies may apply for a surcharge of up to $7.50 on any gate fee charged for the use of certain low emission vehicles. Additionally, grants of up to $2,000 per vehicle may be available from the San Francisco County Transportation Authority toward the purchase of light-duty hybrid electric and compressed natural gas taxis.
