Statement from Mayor de Blasio on Passage of For-Hire Vehicle Cruising Cap and License Cap Extension

August 7, 2019

“For far too long, ride-share apps took advantage of their drivers. Their wages plummeted and families struggled to put food on their tables. We stood up and said no more. We will not let big corporations walk all over hardworking New Yorkers and choke our streets with congestion. Our caps have resulted in increased wages and families finally have some relief. I look forward to putting these new caps into effect immediately.”
