(a)

1. (1) The program established pursuant to this section shall be known as the California Clean Miles Standard and Incentive Program.
2. (2) For purposes of this section, “board” means the State Air Resources Board.
3. (3) This section applies to transportation providers regulated by the commission that provide prearranged transportation services for compensation using an online-enabled application or platform to connect passengers, including autonomous vehicles, charter-party carriers, and new modes of ridesharing technology that may arise through innovation and subsequent regulation.

(b)

1. (1) By January 1, 2020, the board shall establish a baseline for emissions of greenhouse gases for vehicles used on the online-enabled applications or platforms by transportation network companies on a per-passenger-mile basis. For purposes of this section, emissions per-passenger-mile traveled means the estimated emissions from all vehicles miles traveled in periods 1, 2, and 3, as those terms are used by the commission, including miles driven with no passenger in the vehicles, divided by the total number of passenger miles resulting from transport by those vehicles in period 3, including facilitation of walking, biking, and other modes of active or zero-emission transportation. The board shall use 2018 as the baseline year.
2. (2) By January 1, 2021, the board shall adopt, and the commission shall implement, annual targets and goals, beginning in 2023, for the reduction under the baseline established pursuant to paragraph (1) of emissions of greenhouse gases per passenger-mile driven on behalf of a transportation network company. These targets and goals shall include annual goals for increasing passenger-miles traveled using zero-emission vehicles. These targets and goals shall be consistent with the Zero-Emission Vehicle Action Plan, be consistent with the stated goals detailed in Executive Order B-48-18, be technically and economically feasible, and be based upon data reported by the transportation network companies to the commission.

3. (3) The data required of transportation network companies to determine average emissions of greenhouse gases per passenger-mile to be calculated by the board and commission shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:

   1. (A) The total miles completed by drivers.
   2. (B) The percent share of miles completed by qualified zero-emission means, including miles completed by vehicle, walking, biking, other modes of active transportation, and zero-emission vehicles.
   3. (C) Miles-weighted average network-wide grams of carbon dioxide per mile to produce an estimate of the emissions of greenhouse gases.
   4. (D) Total passenger-miles completed using an average passengers-per-trip estimate to account for trips where exact passenger head count data was not captured.
4. (4) The board shall delay adoption, and the commission shall delay implementation, of the targets and goals pursuant to paragraph (2) if the board or commission finds that unanticipated barriers exist to expanding the usage of zero-emission vehicles by transportation network companies. The board and commission shall review the available data related to barriers to expanding the usage of zero-emission vehicles by transportation network companies no less often than every two years, including data relative to current and future electric transportation adoption rates and charging infrastructure utilization rates.

(c) By January 1, 2022, and every two years thereafter, each transportation network company shall develop a greenhouse gas emissions reduction plan. A transportation network company greenhouse gas emissions reduction plan shall include proposals on how to meet the targets and goals for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases established pursuant to subdivision (b) based upon the following:

1. (1) Increased proportion of participating drivers with zero-emission vehicles using transportation network companies.
2. (2) Increased proportion of vehicle-miles completed by zero-emission vehicles relative to all vehicle-miles.
3. (3) Decreased gram-per-mile greenhouse gas emissions rates.
4. (4) Increased passenger-miles in proportion to overall vehicle-miles.

(d) In implementing this section, the commission, the board, and the Energy Commission shall ensure that ongoing state planning efforts and funding programs that are intended to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles and charging infrastructure shall consider the goals of the California Clean Miles Standard and Incentive Program. The commission shall additionally do all the following:

1. (1) Ensure minimal negative impact on low-income and moderate-income drivers.
2. (2) Ensure that the program complements and supports the sustainable land-use objectives contained in Section 65080 of the Government Code.
3. (3) Support the goals of clean mobility for low- and moderate-income individuals.
4. (4) Advance the goals of the California Clean Miles Standard and Incentive Program in reviewing utility transportation electrification applications filed pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 740.12 and encourage collaboration between electric vehicle charging companies, investor-owned utilities, fleet owners that provide vehicles by contract to participating drivers for use on transportation network company platforms, entities contracting with participating drivers to provide zero-emission vehicles for use on transportation network company platforms, and transportation network companies on investments that would support the California Clean Miles Standard and Incentive Program, consistent with subdivision (b) of Section 740.12 and Executive Order B-48-18.
