Bill > A10323

This bill allows commuter vans, which are vehicles with a seating capacity of at least nine passengers and no more than twenty (or a greater capacity set by the commission) that are licensed to carry passengers for hire in New York City, to accept hails from prospective passengers directly on the street, a practice previously restricted to licensed taxicabs. The bill also mandates that the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (the "commission," which is the regulatory body overseeing these services) must conduct and publish a report evaluating the impact of this new ability on the safe and efficient operation of commuter van services. This report will be submitted to the mayor and the speaker of the city council and posted on the commission's website, providing a mechanism to assess the consequences of this regulatory change.
