United States Second Circuit
Metro. Taxicab Bd. of Trade v. City of N.Y., 09-2901
In an appeal by the Taxicab & Limousine Commission of New York City and several New York City officials from the grant of a preliminary injunction that enjoined the enforcement of the City's revisions to the maximum lease rates for taxicabs that effectively shifted fuel costs from drivers of fleet taxis to fleet owners to incentivize the use of hybrid-engine and fuel-efficient vehicles, the order is affirmed where the City's new rules, based expressly on the fuel economy of a leased vehicle, plainly fall within the scope of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act preemption provision.
