The New York State Stretch Limousine Passenger Safety Task Force that looked into the Schoharie limousine crash that killed 20 people nearly four years ago released a 154-page report Friday evening that contained recommendations to ensure safe and reliable stretch limousine transportation.
The task force recommended adopting a law to prohibit the use of stretch limousines for-hire after the vehicle reaches 10 years of age, or accumulates 350,000 miles.
Limited exemptions would be allowed.
The vehicle involved in the deadly 2018 Schoharie crash was a 2001 Ford Excursion.
The report also suggests establishing and publicizing a limousine carrier rating program.
The deadline to release the report was Oct. 1.
Following the crash in Schoharie, a package of limousine safety measures were approved.
This month, a new date for a trial for limousine company operator Nauman Hussain was set.
