Technology System Provider (TSP)

• Read Chapter 66 to ensure your system complies with all regulations
• Download and complete the TSP Application Form
• Email the completed application and all required documents, in PDF format, to businessmr@tlc.nyc.gov.
• TLC will review your submissions electronically; once TLC confirms your application is complete, you will be contacted to make an appointment to submit licensing fees in person

Note: TSPs must be used in conjunction with a TLC-licensed Taximeter. If your system includes a custom-built taximeter, you must also apply for a Taximeter Manufacturer License from TLC.

• Supply TLC two (2) demonstration units: TLC staff will test the demo units to ensure they operate according to the approved system description and meet all TLC requirements.
  1. Bench unit: TSP unit should be able to operate outside of a vehicle. This unit will be tested at the Beaver Street office in Manhattan.
  2. In-Vehicle demo unit: After successful completion of bench unit testing, the applicant will install a TSP unit inside a TLC vehicle at the Woodside Inspections Facility.
• Showcase demonstration installation: The applicant must bring a demonstration vehicle to the Woodside Inspections facility. The vehicle must have a TSP unit, roof light, and a hard-mounted meter fully installed in the vehicle. TLC staff will inspect the TSP unit for any deficiencies in installation.
• Create a web portal: The applicant must create a functioning web portal with near real time reporting for TLC staff.
• Host an SFTP to transmit trip data on a weekly basis: Host an SFTP server and submit test trip records. Trip records are recorded in a standardized format. More information can be found in the Detailed TSP Specs below.

After approval of the system, the applicant must submit final documentation including:

• Revised system descriptions incorporating all functional changes made during the application process, if applicable.
• User manuals for the in-vehicle technology explaining how to:
  1. Log in to the TSP;
  2. Start a trip;
  3. End a trip.
• User manuals for the regulator webportal explaining how to:
  1. Log in to the web portal,
  2. Query the web portal,
  3. Export reports.

After successful completion of steps 3 and 4, the TLC will issue a TSP license to the applicant. TLC will keep the two provided demonstration units. The TSP must maintain the units as long as TLC authorization is held. Licensees are required to submit trip data every Thursday by 3pm on a weekly basis.
