What is the Taxi and Limousine Commission?
The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission is the governing body that oversees the for-hire vehicle (FHV) industry in NYC. This includes regulating app-based services like Uber, Lyft, and Via, along with medallion taxicabs, commuter vans, paratransit vehicles, and luxury limousines. The Taxi and Limousine Commission classifies FHVs into categories such as black cars (e-hail), luxury limousines, yellow taxis, green taxis, and community liveries. Each of these vehicle types must meet specific Taxi and Limousine Commission insurance requirements.
Do You Need Taxi and Limousine Commission Insurance?
If your vehicle carries Taxi and Limousine Commission license plates, you are required by law to meet the insurance requirements set forth by the Taxi and Limousine Commission. These requirements vary based on the type of vehicle and its passenger capacity.
