WNYC: In a decision issued Thursday, the state’s Court of Appeals reversed a previous decision by the State Supreme Court which had brought the city’s plans to a screeching halt.

Under the new ruling, the city can now issue up to 18,000 ‘hail licenses’ to livery drivers. In addition, the city will sell 2,000 new medallions for wheelchair-accessible yellow taxicabs. The city has said that auction could generate $1 billion in revenue.
