The Taxi and Limousine Commission is considering changing its rules. The change would create a new TLC Rule chapter governing the licensure of FHV Dispatch Applications and amend the rules to enhance existing requirements for FHV bases that use their own smartphone application to dispatch vehicles.

The Commission will hold a public hearing on the proposed rule. The public hearing will take place at 10:00 a.m. on May 28, 2015. The hearing will be in the hearing room at 33 Beaver Street – 19th Floor, New York, NY 10004.
