STREET HAIL EXPANSION AROUND THE CORNER
The TLC is now accepting applications for Street Hail Livery (SHL) licenses. Only 6,000 SHL licenses will be issued each year until 18,000 are issued. Twenty (20) percent of the licenses are reserved for use with wheelchair accessible vehicles. Grants for the purchase or conversion of a wheelchair accessible vehicle are available to those who meet eligibility requirements. You can download SHL applications and checklists, request an appointment to submit an application to the TLC, apply for an accessibility grant, and learn about the rules and regulations pertaining to the SHL service.
Street Hail Livery vehicles can pick up passengers by street hail anywhere outside of Manhattan (except for the airports) and in Manhattan north of West 110th street and north of East 96th street. Street Hail Livery vehicles may also accept dispatches in Manhattan north of West 110th street and north of East 96th street and anywhere outside Manhattan, including the airports.
