Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to unlawful solicitation of ground transportation services on public roads and within public parking lots
Purpose/summary of provisions
This bill would prohibit solicitation of ground transportation services on public roads and within public parking lots. Carries a fine for each repeated offense, with the third offense carrying possible imprisonment.
Justification
Illegally operated "dollar vans" have become a widespread problem in the metropolitan areas, creating traffic hazards and congestion in parking lots, mall entrances, sidewalks, etc. While these entrepreneurs are attempting to capitalize on the mass transit industry, they are without proper requirements to operate as livery vehicles, and are creating a nuisance in the areas where they converge.
Existing law
None.
Fiscal implications
None to the state.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
