“The issuance of new HAIL licenses to service the under served areas of the five
boroughs and Upper Manhattan, and new medallions, will substantially improve the
ability of New Yorkers, especially those with disabilities, to get where they need to
go quickly and easily, ” Assemblyman Castro said. “It is imperative that we continue
to support these kinds of initiatives to make traveling within New York City more
accessible, efficient and affordable.”
In 2010, Assemblyman Castro introduced legislation (A10190) to allow
affiliated vehicles in the city of New York to obtain a special street hail license to
accept hails from passengers in the street in areas outside the Manhattan central
business district.
