The pressure is on for companies such as Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. to go greener — and at a faster pace.

This month, the California Air Resources Board approved the Clean Miles Standard and Incentive Program, which requires that ride-share companies begin gradually electrifying their fleets in the state starting in 2023 and ensure that 90 percent of miles traveled are electric by 2030.
The program, which grew out of state Senate Bill 1014, introduced in 2018, works to reduce statewide greenhouse gas emissions.
