Welcome to 4 the New York City Taxi and Limousine 5 Commission Meeting. We are now going 6 to go into Executive Session. 7 (Whereupon, the Committee went into 8 Executive Session.) 9 (Time noted: 9:07 a.m.) 10 -------------------------------------------- 11 (Time noted: 10:39 a.m.) 12 CHAIRMAN YASSKY: Good morning. 13 Our public meeting for May 31st is 14 reconvening now at 10:40. 15 We have present at the moment 16 Commissioners Marino, Gonzalez, myself, 17 DeArcy, Carone and we have a couple of 18 other commissioners who are in the 19 building and joining us shortly. We'll 20 get to business promptly. Just a 21 couple of points at the outset. 22 One is, I want to remind medallion 23 owners that your medallion renewal is 24 due today, but I think it may have 25 been-- it might have been already due, 5 1 TLC Meeting 2 it says here due today, but to avoid 3 risk of suspension, really do get this 4 in by June 11th, that is the deadline 5 after which you are at risk of 6 suspension, so please really do send 7 those in. 8 I am pleased to report that we have 9 to welcome another class of New York's 10 proudest, our enforcement inspectors, 11 our uniformed inspectors another 22 12 joined. They joined our payroll a 13 couple of months ago but, of course, 14 they were in their peace officer 15 training, our internal training and hit 16 the streets earlier this month bringing 17 our enforcement strength to levels we 18 have not had in a couple of decades. 19 They have been extraordinarily 20 productive already. This month alone, 21 I can tell you, in May, we have seized 22 already 505 illegal livery vehicles. 23 So we were doing a thousand a year a 24 couple of years ago and now we're doing 25 500 per month. So that is really 6 1 TLC Meeting 2 tremendous. I just want to give our 3 men and women in uniform a thank you. 4 (Applaud.) 5 CHAIRMAN YASSKY: On behalf of the 6 public and of course on behalf of our 7 licensees who have earned the right to 8 provide full hard service, whether it 9 is a taxi or license livery, it is our 10 job to keep people who do not play by 11 the rules off the road and I am just 12 proud of the work uniformed services 13 folks are doing. 14 We are also joined by Commissioner 15 Gjonaj and Commissioner Arout and we 16 are almost at full strength for today. 17 Just on the topic of accessibility, 18 an issue, as you know, the Commission 19 has worked on over a period of time. 20 We had the first the Commission 21 approved MV1 as a taxi, another 22 option for taxi owners for the 231 who 23 were required to use wheelchair 24 accessible, or for any other taxi owner 25 who wishes. The access vehicle is 7 1 TLC Meeting 2 available. 3 The first that actually hit the 4 streets a couple of weeks ago is now in 5 service as a taxicab which I was 6 delighted to see. I just want to read 7 an e-mail I got last night that, to me, 8 underscores why we have to run on this 9 so quickly. I got an e-mail from a 10 gentleman that runs a large non-profit 11 in the city that deals with veterans. 12 It's been fleet week, as you know. He 13 writes at 11:48 p.m., "David, quick 14 question, here with double amputee U.S. 15 Army here in NYC and he's having 16 difficulty getting a cab. Are the 17 wheelchair accessibles out soon?" 18 We cannot have a city where a 19 veteran or not a veteran, who is in a 20 wheelchair cannot access the jewel of 21 the -- one of the jewels of the City, 22 our taxicab system. That is why we 23 have moved forward aggressively. 24 I know there are medallion owners 25 here and representatives of medallion 8 1 TLC Meeting 2 owners and you got the bill recently 3 for $98 for dispatch service. I've had 4 owners ask me what's with the new 5 charge, what's it for and as you know, 6 what it's for is to enable someone to 7 call 311 -- there are cabs on the 8 street, but they are of no use to this 9 man, no use to this veteran, unless he 10 can get one of these cabs where he is 11 and where he needs it. 12 We are now about a month away, 13 thanks to the fees that you are paying, 14 to enabling 311 to do that. We have, I 15 think, a terrific partner in Metro 16 Taxi, who we have high hopes for, to 17 actually do the work of the dispatching 18 and I just want to renew my plea, my 19 request, to particularly the owners who 20 do own, and the drivers who do drive 21 accessible taxis that we really do need 22 to make this one work so that people 23 can get the service that they are 24 entitled to. We'll do our part in 25 terms of the regulation and in terms of 9 1 TLC Meeting 2 the structuring of it and I know that 3 you will do your part too, both through 4 the fee, but also particularly for the 5 drivers and owners who have accessible 6 cabs to making the system work well in 7 practice, not just in theory. 8 Now, that's not enough. We know 9 we're going to put another at least 10 2,000 accessible cabs on the street 11 over the next couple of years. I think 12 that we have got to bring everybody 13 together and figure out how we, as the 14 regulators with you, as the industry 15 and with the community of people with 16 disabilities and people who are 17 passionate about that issue, so all of 18 us together figure out a long-term plan 19 that will make sure we can be as proud 20 of that facet of the service of the 21 industry as we are of all the other 22 facets. 23 Commissioner Frank Carone has 24 graciously volunteered to spearhead 25 that effort. We will be putting 10 1 TLC Meeting 2 together a working group and I will be 3 reaching out to the industry 4 leadership, you folks that are here 5 today, to help us form a working group 6 that can productively tackle the issue. 7 I know there is -- it's an issue 8 with different sides and different 9 interests, but what we need is for the 10 people to get into the room and be 11 willing to reach out and work together 12 and find a common ground. 13 So I'll be asking you for folks who 14 are willing to do that, we'll be asking 15 the disability advocates for people who 16 are willing to do that and we will see 17 certainly who will participate and 18 Commissioner Carone will spearhead it. 19 With that said, let's move to our 20 substantive agenda for today. 21 First we have the minutes of the 22 April 19, 2012 meeting. I move that we 23 adopt the minutes. All in favor say 24 aye. 25 THE COMMISSIONERS: Aye. 11 1 TLC Meeting 2 CHAIRMAN YASSKY: Opposed no. 3 (No response.) 4 CHAIRMAN YASSKY: The minutes from 5 the April 19, 2012 meeting are now 6 adopted. 7 Base applications. Is Chris here? 8 Who is here in terms of licensing today 9 in presenting the base applications? I 10 saw Asst. Commissioner Georgia Steele was 11 here earlier.

Martha Kenney; Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Women and Gender Studies Professor, History FIGHTING, HACKING, AND STALKING: TOXIC MASCULINITY AND THE REVOLUTIONARY ANTI-HERO Robyn Michelle Ollodort San Francisco, California 2017 Through my analyses of the films Taxi Driver (1976) and Fight Club (1999), and the television series Mr. Robot (2105), I will unpack the ways each text represents masculinity and mental illness through the trope of revolutionary psychosis, the ways these representations reflect contemporaneous political and social anxieties, and how critical analyses of each text can account for the ways that this trope fails to accurately represent the lived experiences of men and those with mental illnesses. In recognizing the harmful nature of each of these representations’ depictions of both masculinity and mental illness, we can understand why such bad tropes circulate, and how to recognize and refuse them, or make them better.

  • The Lexus Range Experience Amazing
    THE LEXUS RANGE EXPERIENCE AMAZING Since the launch of the LS 400 sedan in 1989, Lexus has become a synonym for exceptional quality and incredibly refined luxury cars. Determined to offer more than this, recently we’ve launched a new generation of vehicles: cars that stand out from the crowd and defy convention. Models like the exciting new UX compact crossover and the provocative yet elegant ES executive sedan. Based on a uniquely Japanese aesthetic of harmony without compromise, Lexus design is now more distinctive and single-minded than ever. However, head turning looks would be nothing without incredible performance. Inspired by the iconic Lexus LFA supercar that was launched in 2010, our ‘Master Drivers’, have worked tirelessly to identify and articulate the unique flavour of driving excitement. With this hard won knowledge we’ve now enhanced the precise and elegant nature of every Lexus with a sizeable dose of adrenaline: creating an exhilarating new driving experience that starts when you approach a car like the LC luxury coupé, and continues as long as you drive and cherish it. Unsurprisingly, technology plays a huge role in our work. We see innovation as a never-ending process, and are committed to anticipating future needs and desires. This approach has led to major automotive breakthroughs like the world’s first Self-Charging Hybrid in 2004 – the RX 400h – and now Multi Stage Hybrid that powers the LS 500h and LC 500h. Despite our intense focus on the future, we’re immensely proud of the world-class build quality of our cars, which is overseen by our ‘Takumi’ artisans.

  • From Weaklings to Wounded Warriors: the Changing Portrayal of War-Related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in American Cinema
    49th Parallel, Vol. 30 (Autumn 2012) ISSN: 1753-5794 (online) Maseda/ Dulin From Weaklings to Wounded Warriors: The Changing Portrayal of War-related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in American Cinema Rebeca Maseda, Ph.D and Patrick L. Dulin, Ph.D* University of Alaska Anchorage “That which doesn’t kill me, can only make me stronger.”1 Nietzche’s manifesto, which promises that painful experiences develop nerves of steel and a formidable character, has not stood the test of time. After decades of research, we now know that traumatic events often lead to debilitating psychiatric symptoms, relationship difficulties, disillusionment and drug abuse, all of which have the potential to become chronic in nature.2 The American public is now quite familiar with the term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), its characteristics and associated problems. From what we know now, it would have been more appropriate for Nietzche to have stated “That which doesn’t kill me sometimes makes me stronger, sometimes cripples me completely, but regardless, will stay with me until the end of my days.” The effects of trauma have not only been a focus of mental health professionals, they have also captured the imagination of Americans through exposure to cultural artefacts. Traumatized veterans in particular have provided fascinating material for character development in Hollywood movies. In many film representations the returning veteran is violent, unpredictable and dehumanized; a portrayal that has consequences for the way veterans are viewed by U.S. society. Unlike the majority of literature stemming from trauma studies that utilizes Freudian * Dr Maseda works in the Department of Languages at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and can be reached at [email protected].

  • Spatial Equilibrium and Search Frictions - an Application to the New York City Taxi Market∗
    Spatial Equilibrium and Search Frictions - an Application to the New York City Taxi Market∗ Ida Johnssonz March 18, 2018 Abstract This paper uses a dynamic spatial equilibrium model to analyze the effect of matching frictions and pricing policy on the spatial allocation of taxicabs and the aggregate number of taxi-passenger meetings. A spatial equilibrium model, in which meetings are frictionless but aggregate matching frictions can arise endogenously for certain parameter values, is calibrated using data on more than 45 million taxi rides in New York. It is shown how the set of equilibria changes for different pricing rules and different levels of aggregate market tightness, defined as the ratio of total supply to total demand. Finally, a novel data-driven algorithm for inferring unobserved demand from the data is proposed, and is applied to analyze how the relationship between demand and supply in a market with frictions compares to the frictionless equilibrium outcome. Keywords: spatial equilibrium, matching, industry dynamics, taxicabs JEL codes: ∗I would like to thank Professor Hashem Pesaran and Professor Hyungsik Roger Moon for their guidance and support. zDepartment of Economics, University of Southern California. Email: [email protected] 1 Introduction The distribution of taxicabs in big cities tends to be imbalanced, in some areas passengers have a hard time finding a taxi, in others taxis can’t easily find a passenger. In the taxi market, trades occur bi- laterally between agents, and the equilibrium outcome depends on the nature of the meeting process. For example, the matching mechanism between yellow cabs in New York and passengers, who have to hail the cab from the street, is different than for ride-hailing services such as Uber or Lyft that match passengers and cabs using an algorithm.

  • Collaborations of Martin Scorsese with De Niro And
    From Realism to Reinvention: Collaborations of Martin Scorsese with De Niro and DiCaprio By Travis C. Yates Martin Scorsese is considered by many to be the greatest film director of the past quarter- century. He has left an indelible mark on Hollywood with a filmography that spans more than four decades and is as influential as it is groundbreaking. The proverb goes, “It takes a village to raise a child.” The same could be said of cinema, though one popular filmmaking theory refutes this. French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard said of the filmmaking process, “The cinema is not a craft. It is an art. It does not mean teamwork. One is always alone on the set as before the blank page” (Naremore 9). Film theorist Robert Stam discusses this concept of auteur theory in Film Theory: An Introduction , an idea that originated in postwar France in the 1950s. It is the view that the director is solely responsible for the overall look and style of a film. As Colin Tait submits in his article “When Marty Met Bobby: Collaborative Authorship in Mean Streets and Taxi Driver ,” the theory is a useful tool at best, incorrect at worst. Tait criticizes the theory in that it denies the influence of other artists involved in the production as well as the notion of collaboration. It is this spirit of collaboration in Scorsese films featuring two specific actors, Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, which this this paper will examine. Scorsese has collaborated with De Niro on eight films, the first being Mean Streets in 1973 and the most recent being Casino in 1995.
