Where It Began
From Call Sign 403 to the Tri-State Standard
Empire City Transport was founded in 1984 by a single operator working the Prodigy Network under Call Sign 403. What started as one vehicle and an uncompromising work ethic grew into one of the most trusted ground transportation groups in the Northeast.
Over four decades, we have served executives, families, diplomats, and VIP guests — always with the same commitment: arrive on time, in a clean vehicle, with a professional at the wheel.
Today our fleet spans luxury SUVs and executive vans, covering New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The call sign has changed. The standard has not.

Our Mission
Human-First Transport. Every Ride.
We believe ground transportation should feel effortless. That means real-time flight tracking, proactive communication, and operators who treat every client with the discretion and respect they deserve.
No surge pricing. No surprises. Just a confirmed rate, a confirmed vehicle, and a confirmed operator — every time.
Reliability
We confirm every booking and track every flight. If your plans change, we adapt before you have to ask.
Punctuality
On time is our baseline. We build buffer time into every dispatch so you never feel rushed.
Discretion
Your privacy matters. Our operators are trained to be present without being intrusive.
Service
From solo executives to group transfers, every client receives the same attentive, brown-glove standard.
