Fw: TLC Releases FHV Accessible Dispatch Service RFP for Service to the Boroughs

April 29, 2011 To All Interested Parties: PRESS RELEASE                                                     April 29, 2011 For Immediate Release TAXI & FOR-HIRE VEHICLE DISPATCH PLAN WILL BRING RESPONSIVE ACCESSIBLE SERVICE TO ALL FIVE BOROUGHS The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) is pleased to announce the release of a Request For Proposals (RFP) for the creation of a For-Hire Vehicle (FHV) Wheelchair Accessible Dispatch System.  This system will allow wheelchair users whose trips originate in Brooklyn, the Bronx , Queens and Staten Island to call 311 to request (on a 24/7 basis) a wheelchair-accessible FHV at the regular pre-established fare, and with the highest standards of service in a reasonable timeframe. At present, there is no coordinated or practical way to ensure the provision of quality For-Hire services for persons who use wheelchairs.  The goal of this RFP is to create a centralized dispatch service that will direct FHVs or their accessible equivalents to wheelchair users who need them.  Passengers calling 311 will be connected with a dispatcher who will be able to determine the closest available FHV. The TLC releases this RFP as a complimentary solution to the parallel RFP that was released last week for medallion taxicabs that will service wheelchair users whose trips originate in Manhattan.  The two dispatch programs, which are both scheduled to commence in March 2012, will work in tandem to provide equivalent wheelchair accessible services to those who need them throughout the five boroughs. "We've made it a priority to increase the number of safe, reliable options for everyone who requires accessible modes of transportation" said Deputy Mayor for Operations Stephen Goldsmith. "The dispatch system, which will make better use of our existing resources, is an important step toward accomplishing our shared goal of increased access. We are going to continue to work with the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities and the community to exchange ideas and continue to look for new ways to improve access." "The TLC has spent considerable time and effort working with the taxi and FHV industries and the disability advocacy community on learning the best ways to match the availability of our wheelchair-accessible taxicabs and for-hire vehicles with the people who need them," said TLC Commissioner Yassky.  "And now is the time to make use of the lessons learned to create a system that is practical, efficient, and works for all stakeholders." "We are happy to support the Accessible Dispatch program, as we hope it will provide increased access to our city's taxi and for-hire vehicle fleets for people who use wheelchairs and other mobility aids," said Mayor's Office for People With Disabilities Commissioner Matthew Sapolin.  "My office was created with a mandate to advocate for people with disabilities, which we do each and every day.  As such, we will continue to aggressively pursue long term accessibility solutions for our city's transportation system." "I welcome this proposal for a wheelchair accessible taxi and for-hire vehicle dispatch system to be offered to New Yorkers with disabilities," said Council Member G. Oliver Koppell, Chair of the Council's Mental Health, Mental Retardation, Alcoholism, Drug Abuse & Disability Services Committee.  "However, we view the proposal as a first step toward the ultimate goal of an accessible taxi fleet." When the Administration announced plans for an improved Taxicab and FHV Accessible Dispatch System several months ago, we were pleased to welcome and highlight the support and participation of such industry organizations as the Metropolitan Taxi Board of Trade, the Greater New York Taxi Association, the Livery Roundtable, and the NY Taxi Workers Alliance. Highlights of the RFP include:                      • The dispatcher must respond to trips originating in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and Staten Island and ending anywhere in the five boroughs, Westchester and Nassau counties, and the three regional airports; • The dispatch system will be supported through a fee levied on the FHV industry; • All drivers who operate a wheelchair-accessible FHV will be trained in passenger sensitivity and wheelchair assistance; • Instead of many providers of accessible service, there will be one dispatcher responsible for providing this service The dispatcher will be responsible for conducting passenger and driver satisfaction evaluations via focus groups, and to collect data to gauge the system's performance on an ongoing basis. The Medallion Taxicab and For-Hire Vehicle Accessible Dispatch program is a part of the Bloomberg Administration's comprehensive initiative to provide more and better transportation options for persons with disabilities.  Another facet of this initiative was unveiled in tandem with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) on December 15, 2010, as Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, MTA Chairman/ CEO Jay Walder and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn together launched a pilot program to issue pre-paid debit cards to Manhattan Access-A-Ride customers who do not require wheelchair accessible transportation.  These system users would instead hail medallion taxicabs at a significant savings as compared to rides they had previously taken in wheelchair accessible vehicles.  The MTA anticipates a nearly 70% reduction in per trip costs for the serving the participants in this program, while providing a comfortable and convenient alternative. To date there are 401 customers enrolled in the program who have taken 5,912 trips (2,125 trips in March alone). The FHV RFP will be officially released today, with responses due no later than June 3, 2011. It may be viewed through WWW.NYC.GOV/TAXI. The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) was created in 1971, and is the agency responsible for the regulation and licensing of almost 200,000 yellow medallion taxicabs and For-Hire Vehicles, their drivers, and the businesses that operate and support their industries. It is recognized as the largest and most active taxi and limousine regulatory body in the United States. To find out more about the TLC, or to review its rules, regulations and procedures, we encourage you to visit our official website at WWW.NYC.GOV/TAXI or call 311 in New York City, or 212-NEW-YORK from outside of New York City. --30-- Visit Taxi and Limousine Commission website at: http://www.nyc.gov/taxi This is the NYC.gov News You Requested For: TLC NEWS Comment on this news service PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE!

Online customer service enhancement for TLC driver licensees!

April 27, 2011 To All Interested Parties: Press Release                                                        April 27, 2011 For Immediate Release NEW TLC SERVICE ALLOWS RENEWING DRIVER LICENSEES TO PAY FEES ONLINE WITH CREDIT CARDS The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) is pleased to announce a new service that will allow holders of TLC driver licenses to pay their license renewal fees online with a credit card. This new service enhancement, a component of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's NYC Simplicity initiative, will improve processing times, speed the transaction and add convenience to the renewal process. NYC Simplicity is focused on simplifying all interactions between people and organizations and City government. "Our goal with NYC Simplicity is to provide easier and simpler ways for all New Yorkers to engage their government," said Deputy Mayor for Operations Stephen Goldsmith. "Our cab drivers are a vital part of our transportation network, providing hundreds of thousands of reliable trips every day. Allowing online payment of their license renewal fees will help us provide the high level of customer service they deserve." "This innovation allows any of our current licensees to pay license renewal fees online, potentially shaving as much as a week off the time it takes from application to license if all other requirements are met," said TLC Commissioner David Yassky, "but more importantly, it saves them the time, trouble and expense of paying by mail or in person." The TLC worked closely with the design team of the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT) on the project, as it has on many other customer service-based projects, some of which have been realized, with others still in the proverbial pipeline. "Technology empowers City agencies to better serve New Yorkers – in this case the more than 100,000 TLC-licensed drivers who help move the city daily," said DoITT Commissioner Carole Post. "With quick and secure payments through online license renewal, drivers can spend more time on the road – and less time standing in line." "This is a great innovation and will go a long way in making life a little easier for taxi drivers for whom spare time is a rare commodity after working 60-hour weeks," said Bhairavi Desai, Executive Director of the 15,000-member New York Taxi Workers Alliance. "Renewing online will save a day driver from losing shift time when every hour counts or let a night driver spend some extra hours at home before setting out for work. NYTWA will offer free computer access and assistance to all drivers looking to renew online." This new service enhancement is available to driver licensees who are Master Card, Visa, AMEX or Discover Card holders and who are eligible to renew their license by mail. This new service enhancement will be available on the morning of April 28 and can be accessed at: http://www.nyc.gov/html/tlc/html/licenses/drivers.shtml. Renewing driver license applicants may continue to send their renewal license fee payments directly to the TLC through the standard lockbox process using money orders or certified checks via U.S. Mail or by visiting our Licensing facility where they can pay by money order, certified check or a Master Card, Visa, AMEX and Discover card. To avoid long lines and wait times, renewing licensees should renew as early as possible, either online or through the lockbox. It's easy, safe and convenient. The New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) was created in 1971 and is the agency responsible for the regulation and licensing of almost 200,000 yellow medallion taxicabs and for-hire vehicles, their drivers, and the businesses that operate and support their industries. It is recognized as the largest and most active taxi and limousine regulatory body in the United States.

Fw: Daily Plant: Concrete Plant Park Honored With Design Award

Volume XXVI, Number 5399   Tuesday, April 26, 2011   Concrete Plant Park Honored With Design Award     Concrete Plant Park;     Photo by Malcolm Pinckney   At an awards ceremony held on March 22 at the Federal Hall National Memorial, Parks received a 2010 "Designing the Parks" Merit Award in the Site Design category for the design of Concrete Plant Park in the Bronx. Concrete Plant Park, which opened in Fall 2009, was designed by Jim Mituzas, RLA, Senior Designer for the Bronx Capital Team along with an extensive design support team at Capital.   Designing the Parks is a public-private partnership consisting of eight diverse organizations committed to sustaining healthy, lively public parks as a core of civic life. Embodied in this vision is a framework for planning and designing public parks that are innovative, responsive, respectful, sustainable and inclusive. This structure is composed of six guiding principles which were developed through a dynamic interactive process, including reverence for place, engagement of all people, expansion beyond traditional boundaries, advancement of sustainability, informed decision making, and an integrated research, planning, design and review process. Members of Designing the Parks include the National Park Service, the Cultural Landscape Foundation, University of Virginia, Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, Institute at the Golden Gate, George Wright Society, National Parks Conservation Association, and the Val Alen Institute.   This year marks the inaugural year of the Designing the Parks awards program. In total, 69 entries were received, spanning 20 states and five countries. Of these entries, nine honor and eight merit awards were selected. These awards were given to projects that represent an outstanding design that exemplifies the Designing the Parks design principles.   A capstone project for the development of the Bronx River Greenway, Concrete Plant Park once housed a concrete batch mix plant located on the western bank of the industrial southern section of the Bronx River. In close partnership with community organizations and public agencies, the Parks Department and the Bronx River Alliance began the revitalization of this formerly abandoned site through reestablishing salt marshes on the riverbank once strewn with trash and tires, reintroducing the public to the site through organizing community festivals and leading hundreds of residents out on the Bronx river to canoe and kayak.   The following are some of the Jurors comments on Concrete Plant Park:   "This has a fantastic story... celebrating their past [rather than demolishing it] and making it whimsical by painting the buildings pink."   "The idea that the Bronx River would have a promenade is a fantastic recognition of this community. You feel this had to be an immense public movement to get made."   "... it looks natural and magical."   "Incredible to see what's happened in New York in the last 10 years�they are at the forefront of place-making in the country."   Congratulations to everyone on the design and construction team for receiving this honor!

Afrika Owes Celebrates Easter

Afrika Owes Celebrates Easter and Freedom with Church

   The teen said she was grateful for God and her church Abyssinian Baptist posted $25,000 in cash to bail her out of jail.

 

By Gabriela Resto-Montero

DNAinfo Reporter/Producer

HARLEM — She has a lot to be grateful for.

Afrika Owes, the former prep-school student charged with ferrying guns for a Harlem street gang, returned home to the church that secured her freedom Easter Sunday.

Walking out of Abyssinian Baptist Church after attending two morning services, 17-year-old Owes, who wasreleased from jail last week after the church posted her $25,000 bail, said she was happy to be back.

"I'm grateful for God and my church," said Owes, a former student at Massachusetts' prestigious Deerfield Academy who used to sing in the church's children's choir.

The church, where Owes and her mother are still members, has stood by the teenager since her arrest for allegedly holding guns for the "2 Mafia Family" and "Goons on Deck" street gangs in February.

Abyssinian representatives first tried to bail Owes in March, but had to wait for Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Edward McLaughlin to make a decision after he expressed concern that they were using "money off a collection plate."

Along with the outspoken support of the church's pastor, Rev. Calvin Butts, who preached about Owes in a sermon, Rep. Charles Rangel called for the teen's release and said that she shouldn't be treated as a hardened criminal.

Back in Harlem, church members shouted "welcome home" to Owes as she greeted her fellow parishioners Sunday.

Wearing an all-white Easter Sunday suit and holding a bible, Owes said the happiness of being back home was visible on her face.

"You can quote me for my smile," she said.

The Black Eyed Peas To Start Music Academy In NYC

NEW YORK — The Black Eyed Peas are opening a school where local teenagers will learn video and music production using professional-quality equipment.
The six-time Grammy Award winners announced Tuesday that their Peapod Foundation together with the Adobe Foundation will open a Peapod Adobe Youth Voices music and multimedia academy in lower Manhattan.

The Peapod Foundation is the hip-hop group’s charitable organization; it’s administered by the Entertainment Industry Foundation. The Adobe Foundation is the philanthropic arm of software maker Adobe Systems Inc., whose products include Acrobat, Flash and Photoshop. The two foundations already run three Youth Voices academies in California – in Los Angeles, Oakland and Redwood City.

The New York academy will offer classes to students ages 13 to 19 starting this July, the foundations said.

“Our passion for music and media was fueled by many generous people on our road to success,” Black Eyed Peas rapper will.i.am said. “Expanding the network of Peapod Adobe Youth Voices academies enables us to pay it forward, giving more youth the skills and encouragement they need to realize their dreams.”

The academy will be housed in a facility operated by Urban Arts Partnership, which runs after-school arts programs for teens who attend high-poverty schools.

Students will be accepted into the academy based on recommendations from teachers and demonstrated interests in subject areas such as camera work, editing and graphic design.
