Franchises were awarded by area, determined by the City of New York. Manhattan areas were determined by the City in 1965 and renewed subsequently in 1970 and 1998. Other areas of the City were determined in 1983 and renewed in 1998. Franchises were awarded through request for proposals (RFP) and a bidding process with oversight by the Bureau of Franchises.
