Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to allowing commuter vans to accept hails from prospective passengers in the street
AI Summary
This bill amends New York City's administrative code to allow commuter vans, which are vehicles with a seating capacity of at least nine passengers used for hire and licensed by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC), to accept passengers who hail them from the street, a practice previously restricted to licensed taxicabs. Previously, commuter vans could only pick up passengers through prearranged contracts. Additionally, the bill mandates that the TLC must submit a report to the mayor and the city council, and publish it online, detailing an evaluation of how authorizing street hails might affect the safe and efficient operation of commuter van services.
