§ 82-70 Street Hail Livery Improvement Fund Review.
RCNY § 82-70
(a)The TLC will review the Street Hail Livery Improvement Fund annually, by no later than the end of April, beginning in 2017, to assess the adequacy of the Fund, the uses of the Fund, and the surcharge funding the Fund receives, and will produce a report annually with the result of its assessment and recommendations and analysis. Such recommendations and analysis shall include but not be limited to the following: (i) whether the current surcharge should be lowered, raised or kept the same; (ii) a review of possible alternate sources of funding for the Fund other than the surcharge; and (iii) the costs incurred by Owners and Drivers that are required to purchase and operate Accessible Vehicles as opposed to those Owners and Drivers who are not so required. Such report shall be submitted to the Speaker of the NYC Council and posted on TLC's website upon completion of the report.
(b)Drivers of Accessible Street Hail Livery Vehicles will receive periodically, a per-trip payment for each Passenger trip while driving an Accessible Street Hail Livery Vehicle. The per-trip payment amount will be determined based on a review of available funds and the availability of drivers. The per-trip payment amount will be posted on the TLC Web site.
