Additionally, when a passenger is not in the car, the bill requires coverage limits of $75,000 /
$150,000 / $25,000 - rates more than twice that required of Upstate taxi companies. $75,000 /
$150,000 / $25,000 limits would also be a unique product, unheard of in the industry and difficult to
create,
ATIC encourages you to re-examine how these liability minimums were decided upon and give
deeper consideration to how this will impact the industry
Respectiully,
