TLC ANNOUNCES MEDALLION VEHICLE RETIREMENT EXTENSION
The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) is currently considering amending the Medallion vehicle retirement rules. Any change would alter the retirement schedule of only those vehicles entered into service after the rules go into effect.
While TLC considers these rule changes, all Taxicab vehicles with retirement dates scheduled January 20, 2015 to April 19, 2015 may continue operating their existing vehicles until their first scheduled vehicle inspection on or after April 20, 2015.
If an owner chooses to keep their current vehicle in service, the vehicle must appear for and pass their next scheduled inspection.
All vehicles with retirement dates scheduled January 20, 2015 to April 19, 2015, must be retired from service and replaced with a new taxicab vehicle before their first scheduled inspection on or after April 20, 2015.
