This annual reports presents information on projects and goals that were undertaken within the past year. In 2015, top focuses were on: Vision Zero, electronic hailing, and increased licensee numbers.
Electronic hailing allows a passenger to use TLC-licensed apps to hail a yellow taxicab or SHL without the need of the driver to physically see the passenger. The purpose of E-Hail is to pair passengers with drivers that may not have otherwise been able to see each other. The E-Hail pilot program was created to test the effectiveness of hailing a cab electronically through a cellphone app. As of March 2016, the E-Hail pilot became a license and was no longer a pilot.

TLC is studying the use of innovative technologies that may improve the driving habits of TLC licensees. Examples of these technologies include electronic data recorders (or black boxes), driver alerting/collision avoidance systems, speed governors, and analytics platforms.

This educational report is a collaborative effort of the Design Trust for Public Space and the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission, published principally by the Design Trust for Public Space. It is the culmination of the Taxi 07 project, a program to facilitate innovative cab designs and propose improvements to the technologies, regulations, and public spaces that support the taxi system.
