Incentives for cab drivers

New incentives for cab drivers.


I think that giving cab drivers incentives to get hybrid or cleaner fueled cars is a really good idea especially for a city such as New York where many people take cabs. Since cabs are literally driving the entire day I think this is a good start to help reduce pollution from transportation. Before reading the article I actually hadn't thought about the idea of regulating and giving incentives to the cab industry. I hope that if the New York incentives go through that maybe the government will realize the great potential these incentives have on reducing emissions and would start to create a national plan. Judging by the article though I feel like there is a going to be a lot of resistance to the changes so I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.
