Drivers of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles

Dear TIF Driver Program Participant,

Thank you for your participation in the Taxi Improvement Fund (TIF) Driver Program, which has played a vital role in making accessible taxis available to New Yorkers.

As you may know, the TLC recently approved a rule to increase Hack-Up Payments to Medallion Owners to support the requirement that all new taxis be wheelchair accessible. To fund this change, the $1-per-trip driver payments for accessible taxi trips will be discontinued. 

Please note: The final $1-per-trip driver payments ended on April 25, 2025.

Driver TIF Enrollment Form

Drivers earn a $10 dispatch payment per trip only if the ride was requested by phone (not via app or website). The $10 dispatch payment will be paid by TIF (not the e-hail providers) on a monthly cycle.

Thank you again for your commitment to accessible transportation in NYC. We look forward to your continued involvement in our current and upcoming programs.

Best regards,
The TIF Team
