NEW FOR-HIRE VEHICLE RULES WEBSITE

We have created a Web site to help you understand the new for-hire vehicle rules.These new rules will affect how for-hire vehicles (more commonly known as “car service cars”, “livery cars”, “gypsy cabs”, “black cars”, and “dollar cabs”) look and operate.

The Web site is separated into two sections, each section having links specific to who you are. If you are a driver, vehicle owner, or base owner, please look at the links under the ‘For Licensees’ heading. If you are a passenger, please look at the links under the ‘For Passengers’ heading.
