About this site

The New York City Pedicab Owners Association concluded its mission (chapter 1 at least) set forth nearly 18 years ago, a mission embarked upon by the original stakeholders, who were about as passionate about pedicabs as you could be.

The NYCPOA was an innovative, tenacious, member-driven and supported best practices advocacy organization that served its members and achieved its goals.

Notably, it was a peer-to-peer organization featuring P2P reviews as well as a member-elected board of directors (elected not appointed). And it served to guide the nascent pedicab industry from 2005 onward, and especially through the turbulent period of legislation and regulation (2007-2009) during which time it was compelled to take legal action after all other attempts failed. It also had a fantastic legal team and lobbyist.
