The council member inquires about the TLC's data collection practices regarding PIP insurance claims. Commissioner Do explains the limitations of TLC's role in this area.

  • TLC does not collect data on PIP insurance claims as they are not the insurance regulator.
  • The commission collects information on registration and insurance for all drivers to ensure they meet minimum coverage requirements.
  • TLC does not have data on how many claims exceeded the default $50,000 coverage rate.
  • The lack of direct access to claim data limits TLC's insight into the actual usage and sufficiency of current coverage levels.

not the insurance regulator, so we don't have, that authority.
1:24:20
But what we do collect, is information, on registration and insurance that every single, one of our, drivers have.
1:24:30
And so they have to meet the minimum coverage requirements, that, we set out before the our vehicle is approved to operate.

1:24:39
So you have no line of sight in terms of how many claims exceeded the default $50,000 coverage rate?
David Do
1:24:45
Yeah.
1:24:45
Again, we're not an insurance regulator, so we don't get that data.
