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.
In this Proposed Amendment, the key changes include the identification of 10 new capacity projects creating 5,454 seats and 52 Pre-Kindergarten sites which would create more than 6,800 seats; display of additional TCU removal projects completed and identified; increase of funding for Student Bathroom Upgrades; and inclusion of selected cafeteria upgrades as well as identification of one additional year of Capital Investment projects. Moreover, the amendment also reflects an increase of Wrap Up insurance cost in FY 2015 and FY 2016 and a slight increase in Prior Plan Completion costs.
1. 2012 new housing starts is used to develop the capacity recommenation for the Proposed November 2010 Amendment.
2. Information on new housing starts is provided by Department of City Planning, Department of Buildings and Department of House Preservation and Development. New housing units include all projects that are either in process or scheduled to be constructed over the next five or ten years.
Pupil contribution is estimated using the updated Projected Public School Ratio. The updated Projected Public School Ratio is developed utlizing the 2000 Census Data - Public Use Microdata Sample (5%). Ratios are calculated based on information for housing units built from 1990 to March
2000. Projected Public School Ratio will be incorporated in the City Enviornmental Quality Review manual.
The Enrollment, Capacity, and Utilization Report is published annually by the Department of Education. This report identifies the capacity numbers for all Department of Education buildings based on a set of assumptions uniformly applied, compared to actual enrollments, which together allow for a standard framework with which to assess the utilization of our buildings. The information provided in this report allows us to understand the conditions under which multiple schools share a single building; assists in making informed decisions about enrollment growth or placement of new schools or programs in under-utilized buildings; and plan for major capital projects (including new school buildings, school annexes and additions, and other upgrades that expand a building's capacity.

This annual recycling report provides statistics relating to the types of materials collected and diverted from the waste stream through recycling efforts in New York City for fiscal year 2015.
Cover letter for the submission of the annual report: New York City Municipal Refuse and Recycling Statistics: Fiscal Year 2015, which provides statistics relating to the types of materials collected and diverted from the waste stream through recycling efforts in New York City.
Cover letter for the submission of an annual report that discusses the testing, analyses, and assessments of DSNY's alterative fuel sanitation collection vehicles and street sweepers, and the feasibility of incorporating new alternative fuel sanitation vehicles and technology into DSNY's fleet.
This report, which is submitted to the Mayor, the Comptroller, and the City Council in accordance with LL38/2005, discusses the testing, analyses, and assessments of DSNY's alterative fuel sanitation collection vehicles and street sweepers, and the feasibility of incorporating new alternative fuel sanitation vehicles and technology into DSNY's fleet. It also reviews the results of DSNY's pilot program that used alternative fuel street sweeping vehicles in four sanitation districts, with one district in an area with high rates of asthma among residents.
This is the Department of Sanitation's first-ever strategic plan - a blueprint to fortify our vital services, enhance employee and public safety, modernize our fleet and facilities, develop our workforce and lead New Yorkers to send zero waste to landfills.
In 2013, New York City Council passed Local Law 77, which requires the DSNY Commissioner to establish a voluntary curbside collection pilot for residential organic waste and a school organic waste collection pilot. As part of Local Law 77, the DSNY Commissioner is required to conduct a study on how to improve community composting in NYC and submit the findings to the Mayor and the Council. The 2014 NYC Community Composting Report lists recommendations for how the City could further optimize the use of existing compost sites and resources, as well as expand community composting locations in each of the five boroughs.
In October 2013, New York City Council passed Local Law 77 of 2013 (LL77) which requires the NYC Department of Sanitation Commissioner to establish a voluntary residential organic waste curbside collection pilot program and a school organic waste collection pilot program. This document is the first pilot program report required pursuant to LL77. The report includes background, a program summary, and preliminary results through March 2014.
In October 2013, New York City Council passed Local Law 77, which requires the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) to implement a voluntary residential organic waste curbside collection pilot program and a school organic waste collection pilot program. Local Law 77 requires the Sanitation Commissioner to report on the amount of organic waste diverted from participating households and schools. Pursuant to this requirement, DSNY submits Local Law 77 Diversion Report II, covering the period April to September 2014. Organic waste--food scraps, food-soiled paper, and yard waste--accounts for nearly a third of New York City's residential waste stream. This organic material, while historically considered trash, is a valuable resource and can be put to beneficial use. If managed properly, it can be used to create compost, a vital soil amendment, and to generate renewable energy to heat homes or power vehicles.
On April 22, 2015, Earth Day, Mayor Bill de Blasio released One New York, a strategic roadmap for a strong, just city grounded in sustainability, resiliency, and equity. Integral to One New York is a commitment to achieve Zero Waste to Landfills by 2030. The NYC Organics Collection pilot program, currently being implemented by the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) pursuant to Local Law 77 of 2013, positions the city to develop an informed, pragmatic and aggressive plan to divert organice waste in pursuit of this ambitious goal. Pursuant to this requirement, DSNY submits Local Law 77 Diversion Report III, covering the seven month period from Oct 2014 through April 2015.
This report summarizes the first two years of the NYC Organics Collection pilot from 2013 to 2015. It details DSNY's operational approach, outreach methodology, costs, participation, diversion rates and recommendations for the growth of the program. Its conclusions are clear: curbside organics collection is viable, popular and effective. As more and more households are brought into this collective effort, we are on sound footing to pursue Zero Waste and to create a more equitable, resilient and sustainable New York City.
The appendices to the 2015 NYC Organics Collection Report provides more data on the Residential Pilot Areas, District Profiles, Participating Schools, the RFID system for bin inventory, and Organics Program in other cities. It also includes a Participation Survey, Recyling Champions outreach, and a history of organics policy in NYC.
