Common Council (Regular) - Oct 5, 2026
For the first time in ten years, White Plains updated its taxi rules: new metered fares that reflect higher fuel and insurance costs, cheaper medallion transfers and accessible-cab medallions, and new leasing rules for medallion owners.
Agenda (Special) - Sep 28, 2026
The city's taxi rules haven't been updated since 2016, and the industry has been squeezed by Uber and Lyft ever since. The proposed changes raise fares for the first time in a decade, halve the accessible medallion price to boost wheelchair-accessible service, cut the transfer fee to $350, and legalize medallion leasing.
