Commissioner David Do discusses key points from the TLC's report on electrification in the for-hire vehicle fleet, focusing on charging infrastructure improvements and data-driven planning.
- The TLC has published a map showing where drivers live by census block to guide charging infrastructure placement.
- The mayor announced 600 new level-two curbside charging stations in neighborhoods where drivers live.
- Fast charging stations have increased from 280 to about 480 in just over a year, with 200 new stations built by private entities.

David Do

So, the big things, right, is that we have been working with our partners to ensure, better, faster charging across all five boroughs.

What we looked in there, we saw that, hey, there is a need for data.
0:56:14
And so what we recently published, was a map of where drivers live by census block.
Raul Rivera

Mhmm.
David Do
0:56:21
Right?
0:56:21
So now, if the New York Power Authority needs to see where they should be charging vehicles,
Chris Banks

they
David Do

can look at that map.
0:56:30
Or if DOT, needs to know where level two curbside charging, needs to be.
0:56:36
The mayor just recently announced a 600 new, level two charging, in p in neighborhoods where drivers live.
0:56:47
That's gonna be available.
0:56:49
And so overall, we have made consistent progress towards our sustainability and environmental goals and our wave goals.
0:56:56
And so that is what we're celebrating within that report.
0:57:01
But there's a lot more work to be done.
0:57:03
Right?
0:57:04
And, you know, what that report also says is that when we, implemented the green rise report, there was only 280 fast charging, stations.
0:57:15
In a year and several months later, we now have an additional 200 fast charging built by private entities,
