Fw: Notice for Street Hail Livery Permit Holders

June 26, 2013 To All Interested Parties: Industry Notice #13-24 june 26, 2013 For Immediate Release Important Notice for Street Hail Livery Permit Holders Regarding the Schedule for Implementation of the LPEP Requirement TLC Rules §82-41 and §82-42 require every Street Hail Livery vehicle to be equipped with an LPEP system, which includes a credit card reader, a GPS unit, and an information monitor. As of today, no entity has been licensed by the TLC to be an LPEP Provider.  Accordingly, the TLC will allow Street Hail Livery permit holders to delay compliance with the LPEP requirement of these Rules, and to operate their Street Hail  Livery vehicles in the interim without an LPEP system. Once we have issued sufficient LPEP Licenses, such that there is a fair and competitive market for LPEP systems, we will issue an updated Industry Notice alerting Street Hail Livery permit holders and allowing them 90 days from that date to install an LPEP system.  At that time, only TLC-licensed LPEP systems will be permitted.   NOTE:  Street Hail Livery permit holders will still be responsible for complying with all relevant laws, rules and regulations. This means that Street Hail Livery permit holders must install a meter, a roof light, and all other required equipment. It also means that permit holders must collect and remit the $0.50 MTA tax where applicable and ensure that all Street Hail Livery pick-ups occur only where permitted. Aviso para la industria # 13-24                                                   26 de Junio, 2013   Para publicación inmediata Un aviso importante con respeto al horario de implementación del requerido sistema de LPEP para los Taxis de los Condados Las reglas §82-41 y §82-42 de la TLC requieren que todos los Taxis de los Condados tengan un sistema de LPEP que incluye un lector para tarjetas de crédito, un GPS, y una pantalla de información para el chofer. Desde hoy, ninguna compañía ha sido licenciada por la TLC para proveer un sistema de LPEP.  Por lo tanto, la TLC permitirá a los dueños de permisos para un Taxi de los Condados retrasar su conformidad con este requerimiento y operar su Taxi sin un sistema de LPEP.   Cuando hemos emitido suficientes licencias de LPEP, tal que hay un mercado justo y competitivo para los sistemas, mandaremos un nuevo Aviso para la Industria que notificara que un dueño de permiso tendrá 90 días de aquel Aviso para instalar un sistema de LPEP.  En aquel momento, solo se permitirán los sistemas de LPEP licenciados por la TLC. UNA NOTA: Dueños de permisos para un Taxi de los Condados todavía serán responsables para la conformidad de todas las leyes y reglas relevantes. Esto significa que un dueño de permiso tiene que instalar un taxímetro, una luz de techo, y todos los demás equipos requerido. También significa que los dueños de permisos tienen que colectar y remitir el impuesto de $0.50 de la MTA donde aplicable y asegurarse que todos los viajes empiecen en lugares donde un Taxi de los Condados puede operar.

HEARD AROUND TOWN

HEARD AROUND TOWN: * New York City Council members Julissa Ferreras and Maria Del Carmen Arroyo are pushing for legislation aimed at improving the quality and transparency of the city's Office of Chief Medical Examiner. The office has been under scrutiny after an incident in which the body of an Irish man, Kevin Bell, 26, was picked up by the medical examiner's office van and placed next to a bag of recyclables. One of the proposed bills would amend the New York City charter and require an analysis of errors committed by the office, with the final report to be submitted to the mayor and City Council. The other bill would require guidelines and protocols to be posted online for the general public. At an oversight hearing on Monday, Arroyo, the chair of the Council Health Committee, raised the possibility of improving transparency voluntarily instead of being forced to through legislation. "Give me a reason not to pursue the legislation and help me inform the public better about the work that you do and that when you identify a problem that you're on top of it, that you're taking care of it," said Arroyo.

OPEN LINE PETITION

WBLS Pres Charles Warfield, VP Petitioning WBLS Pres Charles Warfield, VP Deon Levingston, Op Mgr Skip Dillard  Deon Levingston, Op Mgr Skip Dillard: Restore the length of Open Line to 2 hours & air it from 10am-noon http://www.change.org/   Petition by E. Honey Ellsberry E Orange, NJ     Open Line is a powerful source of information about the Black Community in the NYC region. Weekly, the hosts present information, news, progressive view points and educational topics of interest to for people of color. The program is now streamed live online, and can be heard by anyone with an Internet connection. Supporters engage the program's hosts via Social Media platforms and by telephone call ins. It's urgently important to have relevant, community based topics discussed on the radio. Those two hours represent only .01% of the on air time of the station. The remaining 166 hours are primarily filled with entertainment content of comparatively insignificant content and value, with the exception of religious content for those who choose to hear it. The assault on Black Talk Radio silences voices and thought that are significant to our community. We urge the Network to restore Open LIne's air time to 2 hours, and move it back to its 10am to noon time slot. To:  WBLS Pres Charles Warfield, VP Deon Levingston, Op Mgr Skip Dillard  Restore the length of Open Line to 2 hours & air it from 10am-noon  Sincerely,  [Your name]   Sign Petition at http://www.change.org/

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

HEARD AROUND TOWN

HEARD AROUND TOWN: * With Latino and outer borough voters central to the win strategy of practically every candidate for mayor of New York City, the endorsement of Bronx Borough President Ruben Díaz Jr., the highest ranking Hispanic elected official in the Big Apple, has been highly coveted by the entire field. This morning the suspense surrounding who Díaz would get behind will come to an end with his announcement that he will support former City Comptroller Bill Thompson, the 2009 Democratic nominee for the office. "Bill Thompson was the right man to be out mayor four years ago, and he remains the right man for the job in 2013. Bill has a long record of accomplishment, and will be a strong mayor for all five boroughs," said Diaz in a statement.
