New Yorkers Join Taxi Drivers Staging Hunger Strike In Effort To Get Additional Medallion Debt Relief

NYC taxi – CBS New York — Sun, 31 Oct 2021 23:33:07 GMT

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — City taxi drivers have been on a hunger strike for almost two weeks.

The group is protesting the city’s $65 million medallion debt relief program, saying it falls short, CBS2’s Kiran Dhillon reported Sunday.

About 25 everyday New Yorkers joined the cause in front of City Hall.

“These guys are mired in debt for no reason, so I’m here and my heart is open to them,” Stu Waldnan said.

“As a human being, it’s our obligation, every one of us, to be here and stand in solidarity with people who are giving to the city,” Ann Shirazi added.

For weeks, the cabbies have been speaking out against the city’s medallion relief program, which offers $20,000 grants to struggling medallion owners to help restructure their debt, along with $9,000 in debt payment support.

Owners say the program is simply not enough.

“I’m feeling so honestly very hungry, very dizziness and headache and weakness. I’m so tired,” cabbie Richard Chow said.

Chow owes nearly $400,000 on his medallion loan. In 2018, his brother, also a taxi driver, committed suicide due to crippling debt.

Chow said he had no choice but to join the strike.

“I’m fighting for my brother. I’m fighting for for myself. I’m fighting for 6,000 medallion owners, plus their families, for justice and fairness,” Chow said.

The owners want the city and lenders to reduce outstanding loans to $145,000, with the city acting as a backstop.

The group said the city artificially inflated medallion prices between 2004 and 2014, which is why it has a responsibility to help those drowning in debt now.

“Who can expect a $20,000 grant to bring down a $550,000 loan? It’s just a joke, but it’s not funny when you consider the level of tragedy and crisis that we have,” said Bhairavi Desai, executive director of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance.

The city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission says its program has already restructured 173 medallion loans, equaling more than $21 million in debt forgiveness, with nearly 1,000 more loans in the pipeline.

Still, the cabbies say, without more help, they will not survive.

“I cannot afford my bills. It’s very hard,” medallion owner Balkar Singh said.

Medallion owners at City Hall said they plan to continue their hunger strike indefinitely, adding they won’t give up until they receive the relief they need.

CBS2’s Kiran Dhillon contributed to this report.

New York City Taxi Drivers Begin Hunger Strike, Say Mayor De Blasio’s Debt Relief Bailout Is Not Enough

NYC taxi – CBS New York — Wed, 20 Oct 2021 21:40:34 GMT

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — City taxi drivers starting a hunger strike were joined by supporters outside City Hall on Wednesday.

The drastic move came after the City Council recently passed a medallion relief program.

CBS2’s Cory James has more on why so many drivers say they feel left behind.

With supporters by their side, close to 100 hundred taxi drivers who are part of the New York Taxi Workers’ Alliance gathered to start their strike.

“This is a sign of how desperate and how terrible the situation is,” actress and former New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon said.

This latest move came on the heels of the $65 million medallion relief program passed by the City Council, which offers $20,000 in grants to restructure the mounting cabbie debt, and $9,000 for payment support.

But Augustine Tang said they need more. The 37-year-old inherited his father’s medallion five years ago, a loan he said that totals more than $485,000. Tang said his monthly payment is just over $2,800, and the city’s plan would lower it to about $2,000.

That is not enough for Tang and other medallion owners, who said they want outstanding loans reduced to $145,000, a decision Tang said is fair, since the market value for medallions right now is less than that amount.

“Our backs are against the wall. They could easily adopt New York Taxi Workers Alliance’s proposal and yet they still try to choose a plan to enrich banks and lenders,” Tang said.

Hours before the taxi drivers protested, Mayor Bill de Blasio was asked if the city could offer them a better package.

“I’ve been asked many times before, could we do a full bailout? We cannot. We’ve been really clear about that. That’s hundreds of millions of dollars and has a lot of other ramifications. For other folks who have gone through tough situations and could ask for a bailout, we are really trying to be as helpful as we can in a smart way,” the mayor said.

For now, some say they will deprive themselves of the most basic need until taxi drivers have affordable payments.

Future Of Taxi, Ride-Sharing In NYC May Include ‘Panic Buttons’ For Drivers And Passengers

NYC taxi – CBS New York — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 22:10:18 GMT

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A New York City Council committee is considering “panic buttons” for drivers of taxis, street hail liveries and for-hire vehicles.

And another button — for passengers.

Everywhere you turn in the city there are people hopping into cabs, livery cars, Ubers and Lyfts.

“All the time, every day,” Nick Larson of lower Manhattan told CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis.

Larson said he has never had a problem when it comes to safety.

“Fortunately, but I have heard stories of other people. You never know what’s gonna happen out there,” Larson said.

So he’s on board with a proposal to put panic buttons in the back of cabs, livery cars and for-hire vehicles. A second piece of legislation being considered by the council is installing a button in the front of these cars — to help the driver.

“I think it’s a great idea to have that because you never know, people are crazy,” said Debbie Dowers of Astoria.

City Council member Andy King first introduced the bill to add panic buttons to cabs last legislative session.

“When we met, over 150 drivers showed up to tell their horror stories of how they got ripped off — not to mention Camacho, who got shot eight times,” King said.

The livery driver King mentioned survived being shot and robbed in the Bronx last March by his passenger, according to police.

It’s no secret a lot drivers are suffering financially. Would the panic button be something they would have to pay for or would the city foot the bill? A Lyft spokesperson echoed that concern.

“Safety is Lyft’s top priority. Since day one, we have worked hard to design policies and features that protect both drivers and riders. The majority of drivers in New York drive their own car, so this proposal would place significant financial burden on them,” the spokesperson said. “We urge the City Council to hear the many voices across the industry opposing these proposals.”

King said the city has a plan to address the financial aspect of the proposal.

“Well, we have a sponsor who’s looking to help pilot this project,” King said. “As a council member, I would urge and look for the city to recognize the fiscal impact to help the drivers. It’s not about trying to make a dollar. It’s about saving their lives.”

At a hearing Monday, the NYPD said it is on board with tools to get victims of crimes to police quicker, but there are a lot of details that still need to be ironed out.

“To find the right technology to accurately respond to the location,” said Oleg Chernyavsky of the NYPD’s Legislative Affairs Unit. “If we show up to a corner and there are five cars that look identical in the case of yellow cabs, we need to know which car is in distress.”

The result of Monday’s hearing is expected to really rev up conversations about implementing some sort of safety feature inside cabs, which Council member King wants to see happen by the end of the year.

CBS2 reached out to app-based companies like Uber, which said it has its own safety feature inside apps users can use.

“We support the City Council’s commitment to the safety of riders and drivers, and we look forward to working with them to make sure that any solution allows riders, drivers and emergency services to utilize the most up-to-date technology in an emergency,” Uber said in a statement.

The Independent Drivers Guild, a machinists union affiliate which represents and advocates for more than 70,000 app-based drivers in New York City, said it is not sure panic buttons are necessary.

“App-based emergency buttons already exist in the largest apps and we believe they offer the best solution for the safety of riders and drivers alike,” the guild said in a statement. “Using the technology already built into the app, app-based buttons give users their exact location to provide to 911 dispatchers and apps are already piloting technology to allow users to automatically transmit that location to 911 dispatchers with the press of the button.”

The calendar offers up a different look at one NYC’s hardest workers and the unique personalities that go along with them, like strongwoman Nipa, flamboyant cover man Alex, and ten other drivers hailing from seven different countries. Two of the scenes included in the calendar were shot on-location with local businesses, FilmCars and BKLYN CLAY.

The calendar is available for $14.99 at www.nyctaxicalendar.com and a portion of each calendar sale will go to the non-profit University Settlement, one of New York’s most dynamic social service institutions helping immigrants find education and housing opportunities.

To date, sales of the calendar have resulted in over $60,000 in charitable donations.

NYS Information Technology Policies, Standards, and Best Practice Guidelines

A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z

Term	Definition
Account Disabled	Account is in an unusable state and can only be made usable again through an administrative action.
Address of Record	The official location where an individual can be found that is on record with a trusted or authoritative entity such as a government agency, the individual’s employer, financial institution, or utility company. The address of record always includes the residential street address of an individual and may also include the mailing address of the individual.
Advertisement	Logo, graphic, text, sound, video, or any other means intended to promote or market a service, facility, or product offered by an entity for a commercial purpose. Advertising includes messages containing qualitative or comparative language, price information or other indications of savings or value, an endorsement, or an inducement to purchase, sell, or use any company, service, facility, or product. Displaying the name, logo, product or service of a non- government entity in exchange for money, services, or other special consideration, including reduced cost for a product or service may also constitute “advertising”; for example, "Powered by Company X" or "Web design by Company X." Linking to external sites that provide a particular commercial product or service. A State Entity should ensure that all links to non-government websites further the agency's mission, functions, and responsibilities.
Architecture	Architecture is a set of components, their structure and inter-relationships, and the methods, guidelines, and standards governing their application and evolution over time. In the case of NYS and the NYS EA, the components being dealt with are the business, operational and information technology components of the enterprise.
Authenticated Scan	A credential based scan that provides sufficient access to allow the vulnerability scan engine to scan the operating system and all applications running on the system.
Authentication	The process of establishing confidence in the identity of users or information systems.
Authentication Method	The authentication mechanism used at the time of user account login.
Authorization	Access privileges granted to a user, program, or process or the act of granting those privileges.
Availability	The extent to which information is operational, accessible, functional and usable upon demand by an authorized entity (e.g., a system or user).
B	back to top
Banner Ad	Typically, rectangular advertisement placed on a Web site, above, below, or to the side of the site's main content area.
Biometrics	In computer security, biometrics refers to authentication techniques that rely on measurable physical characteristics that can be automatically checked. Examples include computer analysis of fingerprints or speech.
Bitrate	In digital multimedia, bitrate is the number of bits used per unit of time to represent a continuous medium such as audio or video after source coding (data compression). In this sense it corresponds to the term digital bandwidth consumption. While often referred to as "speed," bitrate does not measure distance/time but quantity/time.
Breach	Acquiring of information by a person without valid authorization or through unauthorized acquisition.
Business Analysis and Risk Assessment	Defined by the Electronic Signature and Records Act regulation as "identifying and evaluating various factors relevant to the selection of an electronic signature for use or acceptance in an electronic transaction. Such factors include, but are not limited to, relationships between parties to an electronic transaction, value of the transaction, risk of intrusion, risk of repudiation of an electronic signature, risk of fraud, functionality and convenience, business necessity and the cost of employing a particular electronic signature process."
BYOD	Bring Your Own Device
C	back to top
CIO	See, "State Chief Information Officer".
Claimant	A party whose identity is to be verified using an authentication protocol.
Clear GIF	A graphic with a unique identifier, similar to a cookie, used to track the online movements of users. Clear gifs are also known as pixel tags, web beacons, or web bugs.
Click-through	A message on a user's computer screen, requiring that the user respond to a question and, as a result, provide information by clicking on an icon.
CND	See, "Computer Network Defense".
Collaborative Computing Device	Collaborative computing devices may include, but are not limited to, networked white boards, cameras, and microphones that are connected to NYS Information Technology systems for the purposes of conducting government business collaboratively.
Collect	Shall have the same meaning as defined in State Technology Law §202. This shall mean to store information, including via cookie technology, for purposes of retrieval at a later time to initiate communication with or make determinations about the person who is the subject of such information.
Comptroller	The Comptroller of the State of New York, as well as his or her designee
Computer Network Defense	Using defensive measures in order to protect information, information systems, and networks from threats.
Computer Security Incident	A violation or imminent threat of violation of computer security policies, acceptable use policies, or standard security practices. A computer security incident is also defined as any event that adversely affects the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of system and its data.
Confidentiality	The property that information is not made available or disclosed to unauthorized individuals, entities, or processes.
Consolidated Log Infrastructure	The hardware, software, networks, and media used to generate, transmit, store, analyze, and dispose of log data.

Credential Service Provider	A trusted entity that issues or registers tokens and issues electronic credentials.
Critical Infrastructure	Systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to New York State that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, economic security, public health or safety, or any combination of those matters.
Criticality	The degree to which a State Entity depends on the information or information system for the success of a mission or of a business function.
Cryptographic	Related to cryptography which is (1) The mathematical science used to secure the confidentiality and authentication of data by replacing it with a transformed version that can be reconverted to reveal the original data only by someone holding the proper cryptographic algorithm and key; (2) A discipline that embodies the principles, means, and methods for transforming data in order to hide its information content, prevent its undetected modification, and/or prevent its unauthorized uses.
Cryptographic Keys	Data used to encrypt or decrypt a message or information.
D	back to top
Digital Object	Any discrete set of digital data that can be individually selected and manipulated. This can include shapes, pictures, string of numbers, or characters that appear on a display screen as well as less tangible software entities.
Digital Signatures	Produced by two mathematically linked cryptographic keys, a private key used to sign, and apublic key used to validate the signature. A digital signature is created when a person uses his orher private key to create a unique mark (called a "signed hash") on an electronic document. The recipient of the document employs the person’s public key to validate the authenticity of the digitalsignature and to verify that the document was not altered subsequent to signing. Digital signatures are often used within the context of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) in which a trusted third party known as a Certification Authority (CA) binds individuals to private keys.
Disclose	Shall have the same meaning as defined in State Technology Law §202. This shall mean to reveal, release, transfer, disseminate, or otherwise communicate information orally, in writing or by electronic or other means, other than to the person who is the subject of such information.

E	back to top
e-Authentication	Also known as electronic authentication. The process of establishing confidence in user identities electronically presented to an information system.
e-Government	The use of computer technology to provide faster, more convenient, and better delivery of government services to customers by reducing paper processes and the need to go to government offices for the service. Customers in e- Government can include citizens, businesses, and other governments. Typically, these services are available over the Internet on a government agency’s website or a government portal, like NY.GOV ID.
Electronic Record	Information, evidencing any act, transaction, occurrence, event, or other activity, produced or stored by electronic means and capable of being accurately reproduced in forms perceptible by human sensory capabilities.
Electronic Signature	Shall have the same meaning as defined in State Technology Law §302. This shall mean "an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with an electronic record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record." This definition conforms to the definition found in the Federal E- Sign Law.
Electronic Transaction	Shall mean an action or set of actions occurring through the use of electronic technology by or with a governmental entity.
Encoder	A device used to change a signal (such as a bitstream) or data into a code. The code may serve any of a number of purposes such as compressing information for transmission or storage, encrypting or adding redundancies to the input code, or translating from one code to another. This is usually done by means of a programmed algorithm, especially if any part of the code is digital.
Encoding	The process of preparing content for sending to viewers. Audio and video are converted to a format that matches the chosen distribution technique and attributes and is also compressed.
Encryption	A technique used to protect the confidentiality of information. The process transforms ("encrypts") readable information into unintelligible text through an algorithm and associated cryptographic key(s).

e-Record	See, "Electronic Record"
e-Signature	See, "Electronic Signature"
Explicit Indication	A signal or alert to user(s) physically present providing notice that a collaborative computing device sensor has been activated.
F	back to top
Fundamental Alteration	A change in the fundamental characteristic of the product, not merely a cosmetic or esthetic change.
H	back to top
Hashing	Producing hash values for accessing data or for security. A hash value (or simply hash) is a number generated from a string of text. The hash is substantially smaller than the text itself and is generated by a formula in such a way that it is extremely unlikely that some other text will produce the same hash value. Hashes play a role in security systems where they are used to ensure that transmitted messages have not been tampered with. The sender generates a hash of the message, encrypts it, and sends it with the message itself. The recipient then decrypts both the message and the hash, produces another hash from the received message, and compares the two hashes. If they are the same, there is a very high probability that the message was transmitted intact.
I	back to top
IAL	See, "Identity Assurance Level".
Identity Assurance Level (IAL)	The degree of confidence in the vetting process used to establish the identity of the individual to whom the credential was issued, and the degree of confidence that the individual who uses the credential is the individual to whom the credential was issued.

Private information does not include publicly available information that is lawfully made available to the general public from federal, state, or local government records.
Private Key	A cryptographic key kept secret or known only by the holder. Private keys can be used to create e-signatures or decrypt messages or files. The same private key used to sign should not be used to decrypt.
Privileged Account	A privileged account is an account which provides increased access and requires additional authorization. Examples include a network, system or security administrator account.
Procedure	A set of administrative instructions for implementation of a policy or standard.
Product	Shall include, without limitation: when solicited from a vendor in State government contracts, RFPs, IFBs, or mini-bids, any piece or component of equipment, hardware, firmware, middleware, custom or commercial software, or internal components or subroutines therein which perform any date/time data recognition function, calculation, comparing or sequencing. Where services are being furnished, e.g., consulting, systems integration, code or data conversion or data entry, the term "Product" shall include resulting deliverables.
Protest	A written challenge by an interested party to a contract award made by ITS.
Public Authority	For purposes of this standard, the definition of public authorities is as defined in POL § 103, a public authority or public benefit corporation created by or existing under any State law, at least one of whose members is appointed by the Governor (including any subsidiaries of such public authority or public benefit corporation), other than an interstate or international authority or public benefit corporation.

New York State Talks Open Government Video

MUST SEE VIDEO: Determined New York City Cops Lift Taxi Off Of Pedestrian

NYC taxi – CBS New York — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 23:35:51 GMT

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — New York’s Finest were more like New York’s strongest when it was time to the rescue a Bronx man, who was trapped under a taxi.

Rico Elias said he watched it happen from the window of his apartment on East 138th Street, as cops from the 40th Precinct stationhouse in Mott Haven came to the rescue of 19-year-old Luis Velasquez after he was struck by and pinned under a taxi, CBS 2’s Tony Aiello reported Monday.

“And he literally runs right out onto the street,” Elias said. “They lifted it up! There was no jack. They used their hands and backs and lifted the car up and over and got him out.”

At least a dozen officers helped lift the taxi — a Crown Victoria weighing more than 3,800 pounds.

“The sarge said ‘Let’s get it up’ and they got it up, and they broke their butts doing it,” Elias said.

For the man who shot the video, the whole thing brought back some memories — of the time he wanted to be a New York City cop. Elias said he dropped out of the Police Academy after just a few months back in the 1980s.

“I resigned, and I gotta tell you, that was the first time I regretted it,” Elias said, adding when asked what he thought of the hero cops he witnessed, “They made me proud. They were good.”

The video two shows man being taken away. The rescued man is in critical condition at Lincoln Hospital. Police said he ran into traffic as police responded to a dispute outside a restaurant.

Elias, a cabbie himself, said he feels for the driver who struck the victim.

“He didn’t expect this. He probably didn’t even know that he hit the guy!” Elias said.

Investigators agreed as the taxi driver will not face charges.

The victim was listed in critical condition on Monday night, with head trauma and other very serious injuries.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A city-wide search was underway Thursday for a taxi driver who allegedly raped a passenger who had passed out.

As CBS 2’s Dave Carlin reports, cabbies are working to help police solve the case.

“I really want him to be caught because the cab drivers are usually the best people in the world,” Abdoulaye Diallo said.

Longtime taxi driver Diallo is part of a cabbie crusade to catch the suspect in the police sketch. The unidentified driver is described by police as a monster that used his trusted position to allegedly sexually assault a woman in the back seat of his cab.

“It is a surprise for me, surprise for me,” cabbie Shiraz Rauf said.

The unidentified 26-year-old victim told police she hailed a yellow cab around 6a.m. Friday outside a nightclub in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn.

She told investigators she had been drinking, and she fell asleep for the trip home to Manhattan, but woke up to find herself still in Williamsburg, tied up and being sexually assaulted a few blocks from where she started.

She said the cabbie let her go after stealing $20 and her phone.

“In a cab, you’re trapped. They can lock the doors and everything,” said Sobie Baez of Bushwick.

The Taxi and Limousine Commission told Carlin it is fully cooperating with police and getting sketches posted at all city taxi garages.

Many people Carlin spoke with said after a night on the town they consider hailing a yellow taxi to be one of the safest things they can do to get themselves home unharmed, but they also said you still have to be aware of your surroundings inside or outside of a cab.

“Be on your guard no matter where you are,” said Mark Freedman of Williamsburg.

Cab driver records are being checked, so is surveillance footage, to pull in this mystery suspect from behind the wheel to behind bars.

Police said the suspect is in his mid-40s, 5-foot-8 and was last seen wearing an orange turban.

The victim was treated for injuries, including what police call “defensive wounds” to her hands and face as she tried to fight off her attacker.

Anyone with information in regards to this rape is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.

The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website or by texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

NYC Taxi Ride From Hell Captured On Cell Phone Cam

NYC taxi – CBS New York — Wed, 04 May 2011 03:59:32 GMT

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — To the two passengers, it seemed like the taxi ride from hell – when all they wanted was to go to Brooklyn.

It was Sunday afternoon in Midtown when two 31-year-old women say they got into a taxi and told the driver to take them to Bedford-Stuyvesant. According to the passengers, that’s when the driver went berserk, screaming at them and driving erratically.

One of the passengers reportedly whipped out her cell phone and videotaped the driver lunging at them.

One woman is heard screaming “Don’t touch us! You have to go to Brooklyn!”

Eventually, the cab driver found another cab to take them to Brooklyn.

“Well sir, we are definitely going to report this!” one woman is heard screaming.

Other taxi riders who saw the video on Tuesday were shocked.

“I think it’s outrageous that the taxi driver acted that way. I’ve actually had similar experience,” said Chris Rooney of Staten Island.

TLC Commissioner David Yassky agreed with those sentiments, telling 1010 WINS the driver’s behavior was “totally unacceptable, totally out of line and just beyond the pale.”

“The rules are that taxi passengers are entitled to go to any destination in all five boroughs,” Yassky said. “If you have the taxi driver license, it’s one of the conditions of having that license and we mean to enforce compliance.”

Yassky admitted that he could understand why drivers “want to spend their entire shift cruising in Manhattan” because of the high demand. However, he said that taxis unwilling to take passengers to the outer boroughs was a “continuing problem.”

“Certainly a taxi driver is not licensed to lunge,” added Marian Mishkin of the Upper East Side.

The video even shocked some fellow taxi drivers. Two cabbies Hickey spoke with said they would never act like that.

“No, no, not me. [I always go] everywhere in Brooklyn,” Yves Bazile said.

“I’ve been driving since 1986. I don’t think i would ever do anything like that,” added Marcel Gelin.

Just last week, the TLC asked the City Council to stiffen fines against drivers who refuse to take passengers to the outer boroughs. Right now, it takes a third offense within three years for a driver to lose his hack license.

The TLC identified the driver as Paul Efobi, but the Queens company the TLC said he drives for said they do not know of this driver or the incident.
