EUGENE F. PIGOTT, Jr., J:

At issue on this appeal is the constitutionality of chapter 602 of the Laws of 2011, as amended by chapter 9 of the Laws of 2012 (“HAIL Act”), which regulates medallion taxicabs (or “yellow cabs”) and livery vehicles, vital parts of New York City’s transportation system. The Act’s stated aim is to address certain mobility deficiencies in the City of New York, namely: the lack of accessible vehicles for residents and nonresidents with disabilities; the dearth of available yellow cabs in the four boroughs outside Manhattan (“outer boroughs”), where residents and nonresidents must instead rely on livery vehicles; and the sparse availability of yellow cab service outside Manhattan’s central business district1 and the two Queens airports, locations where close to 95percent of yellow cabs pick up their customers (see Sponsor’s Mem, Bill Jacket, L 2012, ch 9).
