NEW YORK -- New York could become the first city to mandate ride-shares go all electric by 2030.

The proposed rule would require all ride-share vehicles, including Uber and Lyft, to be either zero-emission or wheelchair-accessible.

The city says it would issue fines or suspensions to companies that don't comply.

A public hearing on the proposal will be held online in September.
