The New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission (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.

The Prosecution Division investigates and prosecutes all summonses issued by TLC, amounting to over 100,000 summonses each year. Under the supervision of the Associate Commissioner and Managing Attorney for the Prosecution Division, the Senior Supervising Attorney oversees prosecuting attorneys and supervising attorneys assigned to the Adjudications and ARTS units, and manages the prosecution of TLC summonses at OATH Hearings Division. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, managing the weekly and daily calendar of TLC summonses; assigning and monitoring cases handled by prosecuting attorneys; overseeing the preparation of evidence and witnesses for administrative hearings; collaborating with OATH to ensure efficient case disposal; coordinating with TLC enforcement staff to ensure officer presence at required court appearances; providing instruction and feedback to prosecuting attorneys as needed; participating in regulatory review and recommendations regarding TLC rules affecting drivers; and reviewing and editing appeals, as well as overseeing the prosecution of seizure matters and forfeiture proceedings in civil court.
