Coronavirus (COVID-19) Alert
Vaccine Mandate
Taxi and Limousine Commission-licensed drivers and operators, like all private sector workers who interact with the public or perform in-person work, were required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by December 27, 2021.
Drivers and operators can comply by keeping their proof of vaccination with them while driving. Neither drivers nor passengers are required to show proof of vaccination to each other.
Learn more about the mandate.
Face Coverings
Face coverings are still required by both drivers and passengers during a ride. Drivers are allowed to refuse service to a passenger who refuses to wear one.
You can make a complaint about a car service driver or company.
The following vehicles are considered car services:
- Black cars
- App-based transportation, such as Lyft, Uber, Via, or Revel
- Limousines
- Ambulettes (paratransit vehicles)
- Commuter vans
- Livery
The Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) regulates for-hire transportation. The TLC does not regulate food delivery services or other delivery services, such as Uber Eats and Caviar. Customers should contact app-based companies for assistance.
What Happens Next
For the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) to take action against a driver, you must participate in a hearing.
If you live in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut, you may participate in person at 31-00 47th Avenue in Queens or by phone. If you live somewhere else, you may participate by phone.
If you decline a hearing, your complaint will be sent to the TLC, but no action will be taken against the driver.
Passenger information is not provided to a driver unless there are legal proceedings after a TLC hearing.
