As is typical when I've appeared before this committee, I'll start with a general update on the TLC regulated industry.
1:17:08
As a whole, TLC licensed vehicles now complete between 22,25,000,000 trips per month, the highest level of activity since before COVID.
1:17:19
In August of 2024, the high volume sector that's left in Uber completed over 18,000,000 trips, about 90% of 2019 levels, and yellow taxis completed nearly 3,000,000 trips, about 50% of the August 2019 trip count.
1:17:36
Additionally, non high volume for higher vehicles completed 1,300,000 trips in July of 2024, 71% of their 2019 levels.
1:17:46
Similar recoveries can be seen through other metrics.
1:17:49
Including vehicle and driver counts.

All the data that I just referenced in much more can be found on TLC's new data dashboard called the TLC factbook, reflecting TLC's commitment through transparency.
