Taxi 07: Roads Forward provides the City of New York with the first long-term plan for improving the taxi system. The result of a partnership with the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC), Taxi 07: Roads Forward analyzes the current taxi system and outlines taxi-improvement strategies that are feasible and cost effective over a 10-year period.
"Roads Forward is the gold standard for informing policymakers. I reference it every single day."
- David Yassky, Commissioner, NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission, 2008
Roads Forward is divided into three sections: "Part I: Guiding Principles", “Part II: An Illustrated Guide to the Taxi System” and “Part III: Strategies for Improving the Taxi System.” Part I outlines a set of guiding principles for taxi services; Part II illustrates how the current taxi system functions; and Part III outlines strategies for improving the usability, economic value, efficiency and sustainability of the system.
Specifically, this publication explores how the taxi can best function as a vital part of New York City's public realm. Recommendations are made for how the taxi system could be optimally regulated to provide excellent transportation service for all its passengers and stakeholders, and for the city at large.
