These women are in the driver’s seat of the taxi industry’s future.

Tweeps Phillips, a Brooklyn policy adviser who worked for the TLC for four years, is about to take over a powerful industry group that represents cab-leasing agents and drivers that own taxis.

“It’s very male-dominated,” said Phillips, who is replacing David Pollack as head of the Committee for Taxi Safety. “As a woman, you bring a different perspective.”

Meera Joshi, who previously ran the TLC’s legal affairs, is the second female commissioner in the agency’s history.

“The taxi and for-hire industry has historically been dominated by men at almost every level — drivers, owners, trade associations and regulators,” she said. “So it is inspirational to see so many women rise to positions of power.”

Bhairavi Desai, who is married to a driver, has been the head of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance for almost 20 years. The union represents about 15,000 cabbies — and she says they’re ahead of the curve when it comes to sex.

“They picked a woman to head their organization 18 years ago,” she said. “The trade associations are just getting around it.”

The leadership shake-up comes as men dominate behind the wheel and in medallion ownership. A whopping 98.9 percent of yellow cabbies are still men.

Other women who have taken on major roles include Nancy Soria, who bought the first green-cab permit and runs the New York Association of Independent Taxi Drivers, which represents livery cabbies. And Cira Angeles, of Livery Base Owners, has shown her influence after scoring a major victory to bring the boro taxis to the city’s streets.

“The faces are changing,” Angeles said. “It says a lot about how the industry is changing.”

Some male cabbies told The Post they were happy to see women in charge.

“It can be a woman’s business,” said Anastasios Tsikladis, 48, a 20-year veteran of Queens who owns a cab and a medallion.
