Taxi and For-Hire Vehicle Relief Stands
Taxis are regulated by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission. NYC DOT is not responsible for regulating taxis.
NYC DOT maintains and installs taxi and For-Hire Vehicle (FHV) relief stands.
Taxi and FHV relief stands allow drivers to park their vehicles for up to one hour. This gives drivers the opportunity to leave their vehicles and take care of personal needs. Taxi and FHV relief stands should not be confused with taxi stands. Taxi stands allow drivers to wait in their cars to pick up passengers.
Taxi and For-Hire Vehicle Relief Stand Locations
In the table below, the type column indicates if the relief stand is for taxis alone, or for both taxis and For-Hire Vehicles (FHVs). Staten Island currently has no relief stands.
This list of taxi and FHV relief stands is in the process of being updated. When in doubt of a location or to report a missing/damaged sign, please contact NYC311.
