Statement From Mayor de Blasio on Investigation Into Taxi Medallion Brokers

May 20, 2019

"Today I ordered a joint investigation by the Taxi and Limousine Commission, Department of Finance and Department of Consumer Affairs into predatory practices by brokers in the taxi industry. The 45-day review will identify and penalize brokers who have taken advantage of buyers and misled City authorities. The review will set down strict new rules that prevent broker practices that hurt drivers. It's unacceptable to prey on hardworking New Yorkers trying to support their families and we'll do all that we can to put an end to it."
