Changes in Cab Ridership and Corrections Officer Strike Update

New Jersey lawmakers are debating whether to direct more tax dollars toward building affordable housing or providing financial assistance to help residents buy homes. Meanwhile, new data from the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission show yellow cabs had their strongest January since the pandemic. Also, a tentative deal between the Hochul administration and the corrections officers’ union could bring an end to a prolonged strike. Plus, a two-year legal window allowing survivors to file claims for past assaults under the Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act closes Friday.
