Plaintiffs challenged new regulations concerning what types of taxis could pick up fares at the airport. The plaintiffs' claims included a California Environmental Quality Act claim largely based on the plaintiffs' allegations that the new regulations would increase the trips to and from the airport by taxicabs and thereby increase vehicle emissions, including greenhouse gas emissions.
