The Black Car Assistance Corp. (BCAC) was initially started in 1991 to address one important issue: to pass legislation that would retain the Independent Contractor status of the many drivers serving its member companies, while at the same time providing much-needed workers' compensation insurance for those drivers.

 This process, which took nearly nine years, led to the formation of the groundbreaking New York Black Car Operators Injury Compensation Fund also known as The Black Car Fund. The Fund was created by statute (Chapter 49 of the laws of 1999) to provide workers' compensation coverage for Black Car operators in New York State, and signed into law by Governor George Pataki in May of 1999.

 While the formation of The Fund may have been the BCAC's most significant and unifying act, it is by no means its only success. Since its formation, the BCAC has helped create and pass important legislation, become a recognized and respected voice in Albany, and built solid working relationships with the State's Taxicab & Limousine Commissions (TLCs).
