The TLC oversees a transportation ecosystem that moves nearly 1 million riders every single day the equivalent of the entire Boston transit system. TLC is the agency responsible for regulating New York City's taxicab and for-hire vehicle industry. With approximately 180,000 licensed drivers, 1,000 businesses, 115,000 vehicles including and the iconic yellow taxi at the heart of our city’s identity, TLC is entering a new era of dignity, accountability, and collaboration across the for hire vehicle sector. TLC continues to be on the front lines of a rapidly changing mobility landscape and our innovative efforts--whether requiring minimum pay for app drivers, ensuring wheelchair accessible service, making our licensed fleet more environmentally sustainable, working to eliminate traffic fatalities, or preventing discriminatory service--often serve as a model for other cities.
In this New Era for TLC, the agency is guided by three core priorities:
The Prosecution Division investigates and prosecutes summonses issued by TLC which consist of administrative, field, and consumer-initiated complaints. The division prosecutes a wide range of violations including reckless driving, unlicensed operation, illegal street pickups, harassment, and leaving the scene of an accident.
The Prosecution Division investigates and prosecutes all summonses issued by TLC, which amounts to over 100,000 summonses each year. Under the leadership of the Managing Attorney for Prosecution, and the direct supervision of the Senior Supervising Attorney, the Supervising Attorney of Adjudications (Hearings) Unit will assist the Senior Supervising Attorney in the daily management of the Hearings Unit and will assist in overseeing prosecuting attorneys assigned to appear on TLC summonses at the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearing (OATH).
The Supervising Attorney will assist in the management of the prosecution of TLC summonses at OATH Hearings Division. Responsibilities will include but are not limited to: managing weekly and daily calendar of TLC summonses; assigning and monitoring cases handled by prosecuting attorneys; overseeing the preparation of evidence and witnesses for introduction at administrative hearings; completing defaults list for distribution to OATH; collaborating with OATH to ensure the efficient disposal of cases; coordinating with TLC enforcement staff to ensure officer presence at required court appearances; providing instruction and feedback to prosecuting attorneys as needed; working with the Summons Integrity Committee to review directives, settlement offers, and summonses prior to issuance; and providing training to new and existing prosecutors assigned to the Hearings unit and Prosecution.
