MODERATE
This bill amends the New York City Administrative Code to create a pilot program allowing licensed commuter vans to accept street hails in four specific Brooklyn neighborhoods. Previously, commuter vans were strictly prohibited from picking up passengers on the street and could only operate via pre-arranged contracts. The new law authorizes up to 200 vans to test this change in designated areas while banning pickups at airports, and requires the city commission to submit a report by February 1, 2028, to evaluate the program's impact on safety and efficiency.
Scope change
The bill expands the scope of commuter van operations by creating a temporary exception to the existing ban on street hails, limited to specific Brooklyn community districts and a defined time period.
ELIGIBILITY
Establishes a pilot program allowing up to 200 licensed commuter vans to accept street hails in Brooklyn community districts five, nine, sixteen, and seventeen.
REQUIREMENT
Prohibits commuter vans from picking up passengers via street hail at airports or other areas the commission designates by rule.
TIMELINE
Sets a reporting deadline of February 1, 2028, for the commission to submit an evaluation of the pilot program's impact and recommendations.
Changes the act's effective date to 90 days after becoming law and adds an expiration date of June 30, 2030, making the pilot program temporary.
