Program that the longtime drivers, not the medallion holders, the drivers of the cabs other than the me doll i dont medallion holders will be left out of the deal. I suggest that you reissue those ramp taxi permits as they get turned in by the medallion holders to these longtime drivers. In a manner very similar to what you do with the s permits. This would be issued to drivers on a temporary basis who would then turn around and make their deal with the Cab Companies. Issuing the permits to thes...

Sometime now. Ive addressed that with sfo people on how to handle that. Whats happening is now that we have the 8,000 series and these other vehicles that are being added and i believe youre probably going to see another spike in hybrid medallions, but you do need incentivized drivers who dont have a medallion down the road for them to Still Service that very important community. Ive given a suggestion previously, and im going to bring it again to you. You need to work with the para Transit Coor...

Doesnt preclude the issuance of ramp taxi medallions to drivers in the future, its certainly, certainly points away from it. And i would urge you very strongly. Leave this door of opportunity open for drivers. Too many other doors have been closed to them. I also have to say that i oppose further leasing of medallions. I know that its in the agencys financial interest to do this, but i think that the agencys financial interests too often have been trumping the interest of drivers, the interest o...

On our waiting list. So, whats going to happen is theyll all have the opportunity to purchase a half price medallion at 102,000 each. But when that occurs, those ramp medallions will come back to the city. And what we want to do is allow those grant medallions to keep operating to service our wheelchair clientele. So, what were proposing is and were looking at this for along the future, is the opportunity to allow the mta to lease these grant medallions directly to the companies to ensure that t...

Maybe you could put out an opportunity to meet them. We are mainly preaching for people who like our message, but i hardly meet people the opposition. I dont know, maybe there are some people who are against too much like accessibility in the room here, but up until now, we have not met them. Back in my town, i meet them very often.

Id like to speak at the last. Who is next . Mark gruberg. Mr. Gruberg. Thank you again. Mark gruberg. Id like to echo some of the comments of the previous speakers, particularly mr. Rathbone who is a manager at the company that has the most ramp taxis in the city and has the most to gain from the issuance of ramp taxi medallions to Cab Companies. And yet clearly recognizes the main incentive for a driver to drive the ramp taxi, to continue driving a ramp taxi is the possibility of gaining a ramp...
