Officials at the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission say the number of cabs entering the regulator’s inspection facility in Queens to have a taxi medallion pinned to their hood has ticked up in recent weeks.
The city-issued metal shield gives a driver the right to pick up street hails. Many taxicab drivers and fleet operators put their medallions into storageto save on costs, such as insurance, that can run to several thousand dollars a year. Tyler Williams rolled into the inspection facility last week in a new Ford taxicab that has spent the past year in storage. “This cab will be on the road within a week,” said Mr. Williams, who works for a taxicab fleet operator in Brooklyn.
The TLC, which regulates the city’s roughly 13,500 medallions, doesn’t release data on how many of the shields are in storage. But Rubin Varghese, who oversees the TLC garage in Queens, said the facility has seen an uptick in medallion installations during recent weeks.
