We decided to withdraw our submission before the finalists were announced. Karsan, Ford and Nissan are the manufacturers chosen as finalists by the TLC.

Welcome

This is our information site for the public regarding our submission to the NYC search for a Taxi Of Tomorrow. We ended up deciding to withdraw from the submission process before the finalists were announced, pending resolution of the legal action taken against the competition Convener, the New York City (NYC) Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) by the. Metropolitan Taxi Board of Trade (MTBOT) and & a Class Action of litigants involving disabled citizens of New York, Spinal Chord USA, DisabledNY & the federal attorney general's office concern that NYC is in contravention of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. See News section for updates on this issue.

We continue to lobby for Access For All, ShareAFare, EcoAware vehicles for the next generation of NYC Taxicabs, and are pursuing other markets for our UniCab EcoTaxi. UniCab is in discussions with a number of other global cities who have produced a "meaningful & comprehensive plan" to ensure their taxi services are accessible for all citizens e.g. Washington D.C.
