Medallion Financial Corp. Applauds the Passing of the New York City Council’s Taxi and For-Hire Vehicle Reform Legislation.
8/8/2018
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Medallion Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: MFIN, “Medallion Financial” or the “Company”) announced today that the New York City Council approved legislation to cap the number of for-hire vehicles as the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) conducts a study on the impact these vehicles have on New York City. In addition, the legislation waives licensing fees for wheelchair accessible taxis and for-hire vehicles, creates a high-volume for-hire service license category which the TLC will regulate, and requires the TLC to set a minimum wage that high-volume for-hire services pay their drivers.
“We want to commend the New York City Council for implementing sensible regulations for the industry and not exempting any company that chooses to provide their services to the City of New York,” stated Andrew Murstein, President of Medallion Financial. “These new regulations are arguably the most significant steps that have been undertaken so far. New Yorkers will now sit in less traffic, air quality will improve, and wheelchair users will get better service. We hope these regulations will restore confidence and profits to the many hard-working taxi medallion owners and drivers navigating the streets of New York City.”
