Charge codes 353
Chapter 54 held the rules for drivers of yellow medallion taxicabs and, from 2012, street hail liveries (green cabs): licensing, traffic safety, fares, refusals, passenger requests, trip records and the critical driver and persistent violator point programs. It replaced old Chapter 2 in April 2011 and was repealed on October 26, 2016, when Chapter 80 combined all driver rules. Most section numbers carried over to Chapter 80 (54-13 → 80-13, 54-20 → 80-20).
Condition (iv) of the April 2011 off-duty rule: after dropping the last passenger on the way in, the driver must lock the doors and go back to the garage or home. The charge means the driver kept picking up or did not head in.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(a)(8)(iv)TLC Rule Book 2011, Chapter 54 (Wayback Machine copy)
This spelling skips the paragraph number. Its likely readings are §54-19(a)(4)(ii) (2012–2016 numbering) or §54-19(a)(7)(ii) (2011 numbering); both bar a taxi driver from soliciting or cruising for passengers within 100 feet of a taxi stand. That reading is not certain.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(a)(ii)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Meaning depends on the date. Under the April 2011 text, (b)(1) gave every taxi driver the right to take a vacant spot at a taxi stand without interference. From mid-2012, (b)(1) is the green cab (Street Hail Livery) "Exclusionary Zone" rule: no street hails in Manhattan south of East 96th and West 110th Streets or at the airports.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(b)(1)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
A green cab (Street Hail Livery) driver must not solicit passengers from the vehicle in the Hail Exclusionary Zone: Manhattan south of East 96th Street and West 110th Street, and the airports. Penalties are heavy and climb with each repeat, ending in revocation.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(b)(1)(i)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Meaning depends on the date. Under the April 2011 text, (b)(2) barred occupying a taxi stand to repair the cab except for minor emergency repairs. From mid-2012, (b)(2) is the green cab "Hail Zone" rule: no cruising within 100 feet of a taxi stand and no using a helper to solicit.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(b)(2)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Inside the Hail Zone, a green cab (Street Hail Livery) driver must not solicit or cruise for passengers within 100 feet of an authorized taxi stand.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(b)(2)(iii)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Meaning depends on the date. Under the April 2011 text, (b)(3) barred overcrowding, crashing or backing into the front of a taxi stand line; drivers must join at the rear. Most of these charges have 2011–2013 violation dates. From mid-2012, (b)(3) covers green cab drivers taking a passenger while off duty, outside the narrow "heading home" exception.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(b)(3)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Under the April 2011 numbering, (b)(4) let a driver occupy a taxi stand only when on duty, or for no more than one hour on relief time or personal-use off duty. After mid-2012 this rule became (c)(4), and (b)(4) no longer existed.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(b)(4)TLC Rule Book 2011, Chapter 54 (Wayback Machine copy)
Under the April 2011 numbering, (b)(5) required the drivers of the first two cabs at a taxi stand (not a relief stand) to stay in the driver's seat ready to take passengers, and other drivers on the stand to stay within 15 feet of their cab unless off duty. After mid-2012 this became (c)(5).
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(b)(5)TLC Rule Book 2011, Chapter 54 (Wayback Machine copy)
Under the April 2011 numbering, (b)(6) let a taxi stop and wait for passengers in front of a fire hydrant on a street where parking is allowed, but only if the driver stayed seated and ready to drive. After mid-2012 this became (c)(6); today the same fire-hydrant rule is in §80-13(a)(1)(i).
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(b)(6)TLC Rule Book 2011, Chapter 54 (Wayback Machine copy)
From mid-2012, (c)(1) gives a taxi driver the right to take any vacant position at a taxi stand, and a green cab driver the same right at stands in the Hail Zone only. No other driver may interfere. (In the April 2011 text, (c)(1) only said taxi stand rules also apply at terminals.)
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(c)(1)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Item (i) of the taxi stand rule (2012–2016 numbering): a yellow taxi driver has the right to take any vacant position at a taxi stand, and no other driver may interfere with that right.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(c)(1)(i)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
A driver must not overcrowd, crash into or back into a front position at a taxi stand, and must take the rear of the line unless it is a relief stand with a vacancy. These are mostly 2013–2016 Port Authority summonses at airport taxi lines. (Under the April 2011 numbering, (c)(3) was the airport long-haul/short-haul line rule, fine $100.)
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(c)(3)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
In the 2012–2016 numbering, §54-19(c)(3) bars cutting into or crowding the front of a taxi stand line and has no sub-items, so the trailing (1) is most likely a typo. A less likely reading is the 2011-era airport short-haul/long-haul rule, numbered (c)(3)(i).
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(c)(3)(1)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
In the 2012–2016 numbering, (c)(3) (cutting into the front of a taxi stand line) has no items, so this code is probably the line-cutting charge with an extra level. Under the April 2011 numbering, (c)(3)(i) meant a driver in the airport short-haul line must not take a long-haul passenger. Which one applies is not certain.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(c)(3)(i)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
From mid-2012, (c)(4) lets a driver occupy a taxi stand only when on duty, or for no longer than one hour on relief time or personal-use off duty.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(c)(4)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
From mid-2012, (c)(5) requires the drivers of the first two vehicles at a taxi stand (other than a relief stand) to stay in the driver's seat ready to take passengers, and any other driver on the stand to stay within 15 feet of the vehicle unless off duty.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(c)(5)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
From mid-2012, (d)(1) says the taxi stand rules also apply at the special taxi stands and feed lines at air, rail, bus and ship terminals (and to green cabs at terminals inside the Hail Zone). It has no fine of its own; the specific stand rule broken carries the penalty.
Former 35 RCNY §54-19(d)(1)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Soliciting within 100 feet of a taxi stand (run-together spelling) — another spelling of §54-19(A)(4)(II) (Soliciting passengers within 100 feet of a taxi stand).
§54-20 barred taxi and green cab drivers from refusing passengers without a valid reason: refusing a destination in New York City, Westchester, Nassau or Newark Airport; refusing riders with disabilities, attendants, luggage or mobility aids; and asking the destination before the passenger is seated. It also listed the allowed reasons to refuse.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Refusing to take a passenger to their destination (typo spelling) — another spelling of §54-20(A)(1) (Refusing to take a passenger to their destination).
§54-20(a) said a driver must not refuse to transport a passenger without a valid reason: no refusing a destination in the city, Westchester, Nassau or Newark Airport; no requiring an attendant for a person with a disability; no refusing luggage or mobility aids; and no asking the destination before the rider is inside. All four carry the mandatory refusal penalties.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20(a)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
A taxi or green cab driver must not refuse, by words, gestures or any other means, to take a passenger (including a person with a disability and their service animal) to any destination in New York City, Westchester or Nassau County, or Newark Airport, unless one of the listed justifications applies. It is one of the three most common Chapter 54 charges and carries the mandatory refusal penalties.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20(a)(1); see also NYC Admin. Code §19-507TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
A driver must not require a person with a disability to be accompanied by an attendant. If the person does bring an attendant, the driver must not charge, or try to charge, extra for carrying the attendant. Violations carry the mandatory refusal penalties.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20(a)(2)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
A driver must not refuse to carry a passenger's luggage, wheelchair, crutches, other mobility aid or other property. Violations carry the mandatory refusal penalties.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20(a)(3)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
A driver must not try to learn a passenger's destination before the passenger is seated in the cab (for a green cab hail trip, inside the vehicle in the Hail Zone). Asking "where are you going?" through the window is the classic example. TLC treats this as a refusal, with the mandatory refusal penalties.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20(a)(4)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
The paragraph number is garbled. It most likely means §54-20(a)(2) (requiring a person with a disability to bring an attendant, or charging extra for the attendant) or §54-20(a)(1) (refusing a destination). Either way it is a refusal-of-service charge with the mandatory refusal penalties.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20(a)(21TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Refusing to take a passenger to their destination (typo spelling) — another spelling of §54-20(A)(1) (Refusing to take a passenger to their destination).
§54-20(b)(1) allows a driver to refuse a hail when another passenger is already seated in the vehicle. §54-20(b) is the list of allowed reasons for refusing a passenger, not a ban by itself; a summons citing it usually concerns a refusal where the driver did not meet that justification's conditions.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20(b)(1)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
§54-20(b)(4) lets a driver refuse new riders while dropping off the last passengers before going off duty, but only after first (i) turning on the off-duty light (or, after the "Off Duty Change Date", keying the off-duty code into T-PEP/LPEP) and logging it. §54-20(b) is the list of allowed reasons for refusing a passenger, not a ban by itself; a summons citing it usually concerns a refusal where the driver did not meet that justification's conditions.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20(b)(4)(i)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
§54-20(b)(5) lets a driver ending the shift refuse passengers only after taking set steps. In the 2011 text, step (i) is turning on the off-duty sign; in the later text, (i) groups the steps before the "Off Duty Change Date" (off-duty sign, rear doors locked, data entered). §54-20(b) is the list of allowed reasons for refusing a passenger, not a ban by itself; a summons citing it usually concerns a refusal where the driver did not meet that justification's conditions.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20(b)(5)(i)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
§54-20(b)(5) lets a driver ending the shift refuse passengers only after taking set steps. In the 2011 text, step (ii) is locking both rear doors; in the later text, (ii) groups the steps after the "Off Duty Change Date" (off-duty code entered, rear doors locked). §54-20(b) is the list of allowed reasons for refusing a passenger, not a ban by itself; a summons citing it usually concerns a refusal where the driver did not meet that justification's conditions.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20(b)(5)(ii)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Under the 2011 text of §54-20(b)(5), a driver ending the shift could refuse passengers only after (iii) transmitting or entering the off-duty data, along with the off-duty sign and locked rear doors. §54-20(b) is the list of allowed reasons for refusing a passenger, not a ban by itself; a summons citing it usually concerns a refusal where the driver did not meet that justification's conditions.
Former 35 RCNY §54-20(b)(5)(iii)TLC Rule Book 2011, Chapter 54 (Wayback Machine copy)
Refusing to take a passenger to their destination (run-together spelling) — another spelling of §54-20(A)(1) (Refusing to take a passenger to their destination).
§54-22 covered the driver's duties for the vehicle itself: no idling over three minutes, checking brakes, tires, lights and seatbelts, keeping the inside clean and the roof-light number visible, no unapproved equipment or signs, and correct roof light use. The summons did not say which part.
Former 35 RCNY §54-22TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Drivers must follow the city's Air Pollution Control Code, including the rule that the engine must not idle for more than three minutes.
Former 35 RCNY §54-22(a)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
A driver must not operate a taxi or green cab without continuing personal inspection and a reasonable determination that all equipment, including brakes, tires, lights, signals and passenger seatbelts and shoulder belts, is in good working order. The charge means the officer found equipment that was not working, such as a light, tire or seatbelt.
Former 35 RCNY §54-22(b)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
§54-22(c) was printed as "RESERVED (No On-street Maintenance other than Emergency)" in every Chapter 54 version, so it held no rule and no penalty. A charge under it was probably a miscitation, perhaps meant for street repairs or another part of §54-22.
Former 35 RCNY §54-22(c)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
During the work shift, a driver must keep the inside of the taxi or green cab clean.

A driver must not operate a taxi or green cab that has equipment or devices not listed in the rules unless the TLC approved it in writing. Later versions allowed one approved, mounted e-hail device used only by one touch or voice while moving. The summons should say what device or equipment the officer saw.

While on duty, the roof light must be lit when the meter is not in use and off when the meter is running. Green cabs also keep it off on pre-arranged trips and when off duty. A lit roof light tells people the cab is free; a dark one tells them it is taken.
Former 35 RCNY §54-22(h)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
In the 2012–2016 text, (h)(1) covers yellow taxis: on duty, the roof light must be lit when the meter is not in use and off when it is. In the April 2011 text, (h)(1) was the "lit when the meter is not in use" half of the same rule.
Former 35 RCNY §54-22(h)(1)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
In the 2012–2016 text, (h)(2) covers green cabs: the roof light is lit only when the meter is not in use, and off while the meter runs, on pre-arranged trips and when off duty. In the April 2011 text, (h)(2) was the rule that a taxi's roof light must be off while the meter is in use.
Former 35 RCNY §54-22(h)(2)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)

Former 35 RCNY §54-23(a)(2)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
Driver's TLC license not displayed (code with an extra level) — another spelling of §54-23(A)(2) (Driver's TLC license not displayed in its frame).

Former 35 RCNY §54-23(a)(4)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
A driver must not operate a taxi or green cab unless receipts for passengers are on hand. The charge means there was no way to give the passenger a receipt. Chapter 80 now covers this through the receipt-paper rule (§80-26(a)(6)) and the duty to offer a receipt (§80-16(d)).
Former 35 RCNY §54-23(a)(5)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)

Every taxi trip record must include the medallion number, driver's license number, pickup and drop-off times and places, number of passengers, mileage, itemized fare, payment method, meter readings, tolls, trip number and end-of-shift time. Green cabs record "Trip Data" under the technology rules. The charge means entries were missing.

Former 35 RCNY §54-24(c)(3)TLC Rule Book, Chapter 54 (final version, effective through 10/25/16)
§54-25(a) defines the taxi technology system (T-PEP) and its four core services; item (1) is letting passengers pay by credit, debit or prepaid card. It carries no penalty of its own.
