Press release announcing formation of a task force to bolster the administration's efforts to provide quality employment opportunities for more New Yorkers to develop a stronger, resilient economy
The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) today opened a new licensing and inspection facility in Staten Island, replacing what had been a smaller facility that was devastated during Superstorm Sandy.
This press release was meant to inform interested parties that the TLC has been posting crash information about the vehicles it regulates at an industrywide level on its web site. The Vision Zero Base Reports take this information-sharing a step further, breaking the information down by base so passengers can conveniently review the overall safety records of each base's affiliated vehicles.
