On June 25, 2025, the NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission voted to increase minimum pay for drivers in high-volume ride-hailing services by 5%. This adjustment means that the minimum amount for a 30-minute trip will rise to $29.07, demonstrating a significant increase since 2019. Additionally, new regulations were established to limit app-based lockouts, requiring companies to notify drivers 72 hours prior to access restrictions. These changes come after advocacy from the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, which highlighted the negative impacts of lockouts on driver income and dignity.
The TLC estimates that under the revised system, minimum pay for a standard 30-minute, 7.5-mile trip will increase to $29.07.
