The TLC licenses and regulates all for-hire transportation in NYC -- yellow cabs, green borough taxis, Uber, Lyft, black cars, and livery vehicles. It sets driver pay rules, vehicle safety standards, and passenger protections for about 1 million trips per day. If you've ever taken a cab, an Uber, or a Lyft in NYC, TLC is the reason the driver is licensed, the car passed inspection, and there's a minimum fare standard. They're the regulatory counterweight to billion-dollar ride-hail companies.
