Pedicab Registration Plate Lottery Applications

Pedicabs may not operate in New York City without a DCWP-issued pedicab registration plate. By law, the City can only issue new pedicab registration plates when the number of registered pedicabs falls below 840. Every year, DCWP solicits applications to enter a lottery for any pedicab registration plates available, up to the statutory limit of 850.

In each lottery cycle, applications are assigned an application order number based on when they are submitted. Applications that qualify for the lottery are randomly assigned a ""Pedicab Lottery Priority Number"". Qualified applications are selected from the lottery in priority number order until the number of available plates have been awarded.

黄包车在纽约市运营，须配备由纽约市消费者事务局（DCWP）颁发的黄包车注册牌照。根据法律规定，仅当已注册黄包车的数量降至840辆以下时，城市方可发放新的黄包车注册牌照。每年，DCWP会公开征集申请，以便进入黄包车注册牌照的抽签过程，但抽签数量不得超过法定上限850辆。在每一轮抽签周期中，根据提交时间，申请将获得一个申请顺序号。符合抽签条件的申请将随机分配一个“黄包车抽签优先级编号”。符合条件的申请将根据优先级编号的顺序从抽签中选出，直至所有可用的牌照分配完毕。
