I am very proud to announce new legislation regarding trip records from all green taxi, yellow taxi, and for-hire driver trips!

Trip records are necessary in maintaining a safe and responsible interaction between drivers and passengers. These records can help passengers retrieve property they leave behind in cars, as well as provide detailed information regarding any criminal activity that a passenger or driver may experience during their trip.

Previously, trip records for all TLC and for-hire driver services were required but not adequately enforced through fines and punishments. This new legislation will introduce a fine of $1,000 per trip record that is not shared by these services.

This is just a quick look at how this piece of legislation will improve our livery services and help protect our consumers in the future. I look forward to the passage of this legislation!
