“The gift of education is a meaningful benefit for our employees. We have decided to extend the program to our drivers as well, who are independent contractors. In our conversations with drivers we have learned that it is a burden to pursue an advanced education due to expensive college tuition. Through this partnership we have implemented an easy way for us to show our employees and drivers that as a company we understand the importance of education and family ,” said Danielle DiTomo of Queens Medallion Leasing (QML), a New York taxi company. “Providing this benefit to our employees and our contract drivers and their families is something we are proud to be able to offer.”
