The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) is committed to protecting the rights of drivers. On November 15, 2022, TLC approved changes to its driver pay rules, raising the minimum rates of pay for drivers working for High-Volume For-Hire Services. However, on January 6, 2023, a judge struck down TLC’s proposed pay rate increase as a result of legal action initiated by Uber. Therefore, the current minimum pay rates will remain in effect until further notice. Despite this setback, TLC remains committed to ensuring that drivers are paid fairly for their work and will review the judge’s decision and continue to take action to protect this important pay standard.
