Ryan Su, an inspector for the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC), became the first known member of the TLC to be inducted into the New York State Senate Veterans Hall of Fame, in Albany on May 28. The honor is handed out to “outstanding veterans from the Empire State who have distinguished themselves both in military and civilian life.”
Su served in the United States Army from 2012 to 2015, in a variety of roles – including Infantryman, Intelligence Analyst and Anti-Armor Specialist. He has spent five years at the TLC, starting in Enforcement, and transitioning to Safety and Emissions. His ability to speak English, Chinese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Fujianese, and Taiwanese helps him to communicate directly to licensees.
“Ryan Su embodies everything that the TLC stands for – safety, service, dedication, and community,” said TLC Commissioner and Chair David Do. “[It] is a well-deserved honor, and he continues to parlay his valuable skills to help licensees and community members each and every day.”
Su was also recommended to be an ambassador for the New York State Veterans Court, a role which will connect him with veterans in need of services or support.
