The Taxi of Tomorrow project is a unique opportunity to explore upgrades to the existing NYC taxi fleet by learning about possibilities for a more appropriate vehicle that reflects the needs of its diverse stakeholders - passengers, drivers, owners and NYC residents. The RFI seeks to gauge the various options available to bring a new model medallion yellow taxicab to New York City in the near future.
Among the requirements envisioned for the new model taxicab are:
- meets highest safety standards
- superior passenger experience
- superior driver comfort and amenities
- appropriate purchase price and on-going maintenance
and repair costs
- smaller environmental footprint (lower emissions and
improved fuel economy)
- smaller physical footprint (with more useable
interior room)
- universal accessibility for all users with a goal of
meeting ADA guidelines, (wheelchair accessible), and
- iconic design that will identify the new taxi with New York City
The response period of the Request for
Information for the Taxi of Tomorrow project has ended. Thank you to all
