Job Description 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 which consist of administrative, field and consumer-initiated complaints. Our division prosecutes a wide range of violations including reckless driving, unlicensed operation, illegal street pickups, harassment and leaving the scene of an accident. Prosecuting Attorneys represent TLC on cases heard before the Hearings Division of the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings and will gain robust hands-on litigation experience as they rotate through various prosecutorial assignments, including Consumer Intake, Settlements, Hearings and Appeals.
