Over the weekend Commissioner Valdivia lit an honorary candle at the Peaceful Candlelight Vigil for Lobga Rangzen in Times Square. He was a member of the TLC driver community, and we honor his life and legacy.

July is Disability Pride Month and an important time to reflect on the historic accessibility progress made across our fleet. All passengers are entitled to a dignified, safe, and comfortable ride, as Commissioner Valdivia writes in her latest column: https://t.co/XIN5ypKEGW

“We have the most accessible for-hire fleet in the nation, but we know our job is never done, and we will continue to work to increase access and serve people with disabilities.” — Commissioner Midori Valdivia on Disability Pride/ADA Anniversary

Thanks to everyone who attended CINDY’s ADA celebration on July 22. It was great to host an event with so many community members including advocates and elected officials, and to discuss the not only the progress that we’ve made, but the work we still need to do. Happy birthday to the ADA! #DisabilityPride

Congratulations to all the TLC staff who were recognized at today's Graduation and Promotion ceremony! From new TLC police officers pinning their shields for the first time to the promotions of some of our highest ranks, we are proud to call you our teammates!

Anyone with information about an attack or a crime against a driver should contact the NYPD immediately.

While the details are still under investigation, we would like to acknowledge the recent shootings of two TLC-licensed drivers. This violence is heartbreaking, and we are praying for them and their loved ones. Our city’s drivers work hard and deserve dignity and safety.

From pop-up taxi stands to giving key info to passengers, TLC drivers were ambassadors to the city during this World Cup while displaying custom decals. At JFK, TLC Enforcement worked over 10K hours to deter illegal "hustling." The whole of TLC made this a World Cup to remember!

Come out to Central Park to watch the World Cup Final on Sunday!

Poor air quality affects everyone, but some people are more sensitive to it than others, including people with heart or lung conditions, older adults, pregnant New Yorkers, and infants and children.

Avoid unnecessary outdoor activities, head to a cool space indoors with AC if possible, and follow @NYChealthy guidance: https://t.co/dim4uc8sYE

Free masks are available at locations citywide: https://t.co/oJJtcIN68k
