Charge codes 3
Chapter 66 holds the rules for companies licensed to provide in-vehicle technology systems (such as the taxi TPEP and street hail livery systems that handle fares, payments and trip records), including compliance with technology requirements (§66-19) and conduct rules (§66-23). It is still in force; the older separate Chapters 75 (TPEP providers) and 83 (street hail livery technology providers) are now listed among the TLC's old rule chapters.
A licensed technology system provider (the companies that run the meters, payment screens and trip records in yellow and green cabs) must send trip data to TLC at the frequency, method and file naming TLC sets.
