Council Member Abreu asks for clarification on the categories of violations, and Acting Commissioner Lojan explains the difference between Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) violations and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations.

  • VTL violations include infractions like disobeying a steady red light
  • ECB violations include issues such as noxious liquid spills and street obstructions
  • Examples of each type of violation are provided for context

Can you please repeat the categories of violation?
0:40:07
You said vehicle miles traffic
Javier Lojan
0:40:09
and Yes so it's the VTL law so it's any you know vehicle and traffic law violation.
0:40:16
So I'll give you a sense of a vehicle traffic law violation, violation that's like disobeying a steady red light.
0:40:25
An ECB violation is, like a noxious liquid.
0:40:30
Street obstruction is another ECB violation, and then disobeying a traffic signal is a vehicle traffic law violation.
0:40:36
So those are the types of violations that we've been observing and issuing violations for.
