The Taxi Medallion Owner Relief Fund is providing direct relief to financially distressed owner-drivers.

The Fund is connecting owner-drivers with free services, including:

• Up to $20,000 in loans up front to restructure medallion debt
• Up to $9,000 in debt payment support
• 6 months of debt service

You can get help accessing these services and other resources by scheduling an appointment with the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) Driver Resource Center. The center can help you apply for federal, state, and local financial programs, including the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

Any medallion owner who needs assistance can also email TLC at mrp@tlc.nyc.gov.

The TLC created the Taxi Improvement Fund (TIF) to support medallion owners and drivers who place wheelchair accessible taxis into service. TIF ensures that all customers have equitable access to taxi transportation services.

To be eligible for TIF payments, medallion owners and agents must have their vehicles converted (hacked-up) to Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs).

More information about TIF, including additional eligibility requirements, is available online.

Any medallion owner who needs assistance can also email TLC at tift@tlc.nyc.gov.
