Recent win: A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the licensing and use of autonomous vehicles as taxis
  • 2025-11-12 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
    Council sends robotaxis to committee. Human drivers stay. No licenses until rules. Data, safety, access, insurance. Guardrails before rollout. Pedestrians and cyclists can’t be test dummies.
  • 2025-08-14 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↓ hurts grade
    Int 1347-2025 orders TLC, NYPD and DOT to cite unlicensed commuter vans and levy maximum fines. It will likely shrink shared rides in transit deserts. Trips will shift to private cars and ride-hail. Pedestrians and cyclists face more exposure on the street.
  • 2025-08-14 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↓ hurts grade
    Int 1347-2025 orders TLC, NYPD and DOT to use a compliance checklist and levy maximum fines on unlicensed commuter vans. Punitive enforcement may cut informal transit, push riders to cars and ride‑hail, and raise vehicle volumes that endanger pedestrians and cyclists.
  • 2025-08-14 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar
    City orders a study of commuter vans. It will count licensed and unlicensed vehicles, map stops, and identify where vans block lanes, bus stops, and crosswalks. The report is to be published and sent to the mayor and council.
