With Obama’s inauguration approaching, GM has released photos and information on the new Presidential Limo President Obama will ride in. The new Presidential Limo has been updated to reflect Cadillac’s current design theme and reflect styling seen on the STS and DTS sedans. In addition to adding visual depth to the car, the design updates give the car a more upright profile to help with outward visibility.

While most aspects of the car are confidential, Cadillac has pointed out how to identify if the president is in the vehicle and where the presidential seals are located. If the president is in the vehicle, an onlooker can see the presidential flag (or standard) flown on the left front fender – assuming, of course, the onlooker can see past the president’s motor convoy. The presidential seals are affixed to the exterior rear doors on each door panel trim piece, and one in the center of the rear seat back panel.

Details are thin on anything else related to the Presidential Limo, but we’re told the passenger compartment is equipped with all the luxury and communication features one could ever need. We also believe the car to use a large gasoline V-8 engine: with the Caddy packing on tremendous weight from extensive armor plating (we’re told the doors are almost eight inches thick), it’ll need all the power the engine can muster.

The New York Black Car Operators’ Injury Compensation Fund was created by statute (Chapter 49 of the laws of 1999) for the sole purpose of providing Workers' Compensation coverage for Black Car operators in the state of New York.

The statute was signed into law by Governor George Pataki in May, 1999.

On October 1, 1999, the billing, collecting and remitting portion of the statute took effect. On January 20, 2000, workers’ compensation coverage for drivers affiliated with member companies took effect.

The statute is a state statute which covers all drivers of NYBCOICF member companies in the state of New York, although 95% of the companies are based in the greater New York City Metropolitan area.

Companies must become members of the NYBCOICF if they meet the criteria outlined in the statute – meaning they cannot own 50% or more of their vehicles and must do 90% or more of their business on a non-cash basis.

Black Car and limousine companies operating outside of New York State are also required to become members of the NYBCOICF if they do work in the state of New York and if they meet the criteria outlined in the statute.

The Fund derives its income to provide workers’ compensation insurance, from a 2% surcharge, which is billed and collected by member companies from their clients and then remitted to the fund. The statute permits the fund to either increase or decrease the percentage by notifying and filing a request with the Department of State.
