TLC APPROVES SIXTH PARTICIPANT IN THE VEHICLE SAFETY TECHNOLOGY PILOT

The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) has approved a sixth participant in the Vehicle Safety Technology Pilot: Zendrive.

A Vision Zero initiative, the Vehicle Safety Technology Pilot will test and evaluate the efficacy of black boxes, anti-speeding technologies, driver alert systems and related analytic software, in promoting safe driving of TLC-regulated vehicles.

The Pilot began on April 7, 2015 and will last a full year, ending on April 6, 2016. TLC will continue accepting applications throughout the Pilot, and will issue additional industry notices as participants are approved.

TLC would like to remind all industry participants that any use of in-vehicle technology must also comply with the New York State Vehicle Traffic Law, which is available here:
