Pink Ride: LI Taxis Go Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

LI Taxi Association members pain 13 vehicles pink and donate portion of proceeds to 1 in 9 Hewlett House.

For the entire month of October, Long Island Taxi Transportation Operation Association members have painted 13 of their taxis in a pink color, and will contribute $100 each week per designated “Pink Ride” vehicle to the 1 in 9 Hewlett House.

1 in 9's Hewlett House is a non-profit community learning resource center open to the public.

“Every time a passenger rides in our pink vehicles, from Oct. 1 through Oct. 31, they’ll know they are riding in a vehicle that is helping to raise funds and awareness in the fight against breast cancer,” Dawson Taxi Spokesperson Jason Verity says.

This includes 13 vehicles operated by Arena Taxi, Dawson Taxi, Long Island Checker Cab, Long Island Yellow Taxi, Sunset Taxi, Village Car Service, Valley Stream Taxi and Syosset Taxi.

$20 million of the $40 million will be spent on adding a pocket track, presumably east ofRead More Massapequa. Currently, trains are reversed east of the Wantagh interlocking, and while the engineer walks through the train, it blocks the track. This addition of a "pocket track" will probably also help Wantagh commuters some times, just as an emergency pull-over space on the LIE helps.

True, true, I'm sure there's a political payoff/payback here somewhere.
