Council Member Brooks-Powers inquires about the enforcement of street hail prohibitions for commuter vans, and Commissioner Do provides information on TLC's approach.
- TLC enforces the street hail prohibition when they observe violations.
- The agency is expanding its enforcement capabilities, growing from 100 to potentially 200 TLC Police Officers.
- TLC works in partnership with NYPD to address street hail violations.
- Enforcement efforts are often based on constituent and resident concerns about illegal activities in their communities.
- The exact number of monthly violations for street hails was not provided, but TLC aims to increase attention to this issue with their growing enforcement team.

Thank you for that.
1:57:45
And is the current role prohibiting street hail, something you enforce strictly.
1:57:51
And if so, how many violations typically occur in a

month?
1:57:57
Yeah.
1:57:58
So we we do enforce when we see it.
1:58:01
Right?
1:58:02
But, again, with 100 TLC Police Officers growing to 200 hopefully soon.
1:58:08
We

will be

able to pay more attention to this issue in partnership with NYPD.
1:58:14
But we work with every precinct to ensure that when we see that there is a higher number of certain issues and cases regarding commuter vans, but we will address that based on constituent concerns, residents concerns, to ensure that they don't see that type of activity in their communities.

I'm going to yield to council member Krishnan for questions.
