Repealing the critical driver program and amending the persistent violators program relating to drivers of taxicabs and for-hire vehicles.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to repealing the critical driver program and amending the persistent violators program relating to drivers of taxicabs and for-hire vehicles

This bill would streamline the Taxi and Limousine Commission (“TLC”) programs related to violations that result in points on drivers’ TLC-issued licenses. The bill would consolidate the Critical Driver Program under the Persistent Violator Program, and update the Persistent Violator Program to include provisions from the Critical Driver Program related to motor vehicle accident prevention courses approved by the department of motor vehicles.
