Taxi companies in the GTA are speaking out against City Hall’s intention to mandate zero-emissions taxicabs and ride shares by 2031, a move one entrepreneur says will “destroy a lot of drivers’ livelihoods.”

On Sept. 21, the Toronto City Council debated a proposal that would require most vehicles-for-hire to use zero-emissions vehicles by 2031, with a one-year grace period implemented for drivers phasing out hybrid vehicles.

Abdul Mohamoud, CEO of Co-op Cabs, a Toronto-based taxi company, says that while this legislation may “sound great,” it has the potential “to kill a lot of jobs.” Mohamoud believes the policy is especially likely to hurt drivers working for rideshare companies like Uber, which employs over 100,000 drivers across the country. Uber drivers in the Greater Toronto Area – specifically Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, and Brampton – are already required to drive a vehicle less than seven years old, a restriction which limits low-income drivers from earning money on the app.
