Mayor Bill de Blasio has “temporarily” withdrawn the nomination of Jeff Roth to lead the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission.

The news comes four days after Roth’s disastrous confirmation hearing, where the former TLC deputy commissioner deflected question after question about how he would run the agency.

Council members have been clamoring for strong leadership at the agency, which has faced significant criticism over its handling of high-priced taxi medallion sales, which have since bankrupted thousands of drivers.

Amidst the crisis, Roth, whose shining resume includes stints at TLC, as well as the FDNY and the city Department of Veterans’ Services, vowed in his testimony to council members to be a “transformative” leader, but offered little in terms of details.

City Council Speaker Corey Johnson panned the performance as “awful” — and declined to set a date for the required council vote on Roth’s nomination.

Roth’s nomination isn’t dead, however — just delayed until further notice.

“The Mayor is temporarily withdrawing Jeff Roth’s nomination so that we can continue conversations with the Council to address their concerns,” de Blasio spokesperson Seth Stein told the Post.

“We still believe Jeff is the best candidate for the job, and as chair will fight to help drivers regain their livelihood.”

TLC-licensed drivers, however, may have bigger concerns than who’s atop the agency that regulates their work.

“To be honest with you, right now we’re just so focused on making sure that our [priorities] move,” New York Taxi Workers Alliance Executive Director Bhairavi Desai told reporters last Thursday.

“We’re not really preoccupied with who’s going to occupy that seat.”
