Offices Closed on October 13
In observance of Columbus Day on Monday, October 13, 2025, all TLC offices will be closed.
More than 50% of all active NYC taxis are now wheelchair accessible and overall TLC fleet now includes more than 12,000 accessible vehicles.
Illegal rides are uninsured and unsafe, and many illegal drivers don’t even have a DMV license. Passengers should always be on the lookout for illegal rides, and we explain how to spot these bad actors.
The TLC Owner/Driver Resource Center is a space where Licensees may seek free financial counseling, legal services and other resources, including the Medallion Relief Program and Loan Guaranty Program (MRP+) which provide debt relief for those with five or fewer medallions. These programs provide free legal representation to help medallion owners negotiate with lenders to reduce loan balances and lower monthly payments.
