New York, NY —

The taxi industry is up in arms about proposed legislation that would require half of the 308 taxi medallions sold next month be sat aside for wheelchair accessible cabs.

REPORTER: The Taxi and Limousine Commissioner, Matthew Daus testified before the Council that his agency needs more time to find a more reliable model to put on the road and the council isn't giving them enough time before the auction.

But Jean Ryan of Disabled in Action says the excuses have gone on too long.

RYAN: There is always going to be some reason why we should not go forward with accesibilty if we waited for him to be ready, for the TLC to be ready we would never get there.

REPORTER: Only 29 of New York's nearly 13,000 yellow cabs are accessible.
