The Taxi and Limousine Commission's hearing revealed tension over proposed increased fines for illegally parked taxi drivers. Many drivers criticized the lack of dedicated curb space while acknowledging the need for harsher penalties to deter repeat offenders. Chair David Do emphasized that existing regulations fail to alter the behavior of persistent violators. The proposal includes escalating fines after the second offense, mandatory points on licenses, and safety courses for illegal parking violations to enhance street safety and reduce Vision Zero violations.
Our rules as they currently stand are not changing behavior of persistent violators, they're becoming just another cost of doing business, said TLC Chair David Do.
There are some drivers who have 10-plus points. That's insane to me, and they do this because there are so many ways to get out of this.
