Each year, media outlet City & State presents the Queens Power 100, a list of current Queens leaders “who keep the borough on the move.” This year, Ira Goldstein, Executive Director of The Black Car Fund, was included on this prestigious list.
“For over a decade and a half, Ira Goldstein has been at the wheel of The Black Car Fund, which provides workers’ compensation benefits to over 100,000 independent for-hire vehicle drivers in New York,” City & State noted. “Goldstein, who was previously chief of staff at the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission, established a portable driver benefits program in recent years that has been expanded to cover injuries or illnesses that occur while not on the job. Goldstein has also added a hearing care program and broadened its telemedicine coverage.”
