Hey, Taxi! Stop Blocking the Bike Lane ... Or Risk Escalating Fines - Streetsblog New York City
Briefly

The Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) aims to enhance road safety by imposing escalating fines and penalties for taxi drivers who repeatedly violate parking and driving rules. Under the proposed changes, fines will increase with each infraction, alongside points added to the driver's TLC record, which could lead to license suspensions. For instance, the first offense incurs one point, the second two points, and further offenses trigger larger fines. This initiative seeks to better enforce Vision Zero principles while fostering safe driving within the city, where many drivers act responsibly despite some repeat violators.
To promote safer driving, the TLC proposes escalating penalties for repeat offenders, including increased fines and points on driver's records.
The escalating fines for parking violations are intended to deter repeat offenses, particularly among the small fraction of drivers who persist in unsafe practices.
