NYCPOA President's Message

"The New York City Pedicab Owners’ Association ("NYCPOA") is pleased to be partnering with Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn to pass new pedicab legislation that places the safety of our customers and drivers and the quality of our industry above all other considerations. The new law, when adopted, will provide an opportunity for every participant in the pedicab industry who shares the NYCPOA’s commitment to safety and quality to own and operate a pedicab in the City of New York . On the other hand, thanks to this new legislation, pedicab businesses who place profits above safety will no longer be permitted on the streets of New York. This has been the NYCPOA’s objective from the very beginning, and we are pleased to have helped secure such an important and beneficial result for the current and future members of the NYCPOA."

- Gregg Zukowski
