Uber Technologies Inc. struck a partnership with electric vehicle ride-hailing startup Revel Transit Inc. to make charging stations in New York more accessible as it inches toward a goal to make all trips zero-emission by 2030 in the US, Canada and Europe.

Uber’s sustainability efforts align with proposed rules by New York City and the Taxi & Limousine Commission that would require the company, along with Lyft Inc. and other operators, to include only zero-emission or wheelchair-accessible vehicles in their fleets in six years, as part of a fight to improve air quality.
