NLA Legislative Successes & Achievements
In addition to keeping a constant eye on current events, congressional activity and regulatory issues, the NLA is proud of the tangible outcomes and significant policy victories we have secured for the industry. These include, but are not limited to:
Working to support policy to prohibit congestion and cordon tolling in New York City and stop its spread to other municipalities
Advocating for bonus depreciation, enhancing Section 179 Deductions and No Tax on Tips as a part of Congress’ Reconciliation process, which plays a critical role in the long-term growth and health of the prearranged ground transportation industry
Championed Duty of Care requirements for TNC’s and urged Congress to enact the kind of passenger protections that we utilize for the prearranged ground transportation industry
Avoiding a harmful gas guzzler tax, which would have extended an existing tax on small, fuel-inefficient vehicles to SUV’s and busses
Fighting to stop a tax on tipped wages, which would have punished NLA members and drivers for providing exceptional service
Years of advocacy on labor and independent contractor issues, which are now at the forefront of national policy debates. Currently, our focus is on allowing the industry to adopt either employee or IC models
Staving off unworkable limo safety regulations in the IIJA directed at the NY company that operated illegally, including:
Helping NLA members navigate the COVID-19 shutdowns, including:
Monitoring and preparing comments on numerous federal rulemaking matters that impacted NLA members; and
Generally avoiding any job-killing regulation or legislation affecting the industry during our tenure.
