Effective Oct. 5, 2016, the WCTLC only accepts those forms of payment stated on the Notice of Violation. Therefore, the WCTLC will not be able to process cash payments.
Below are the acceptable forms of payment that may be used to pay fines:
- Money Order
- Business Check
- Certified Bank Check
- Debit Card
- Credit Card (A service fee of 5 percent by phone or 3.5 percent for online payment will be added to the amount of the fine.)
To pay fines for any Notice of Violation from the Taxi and Limousine Commission, go to the Westchester County Taxi & Limousine Payment System.
When the payment page opens, always verify that the agency is identified as Westchester Taxi and Limousine Commission and the PLC number is 6375.
Payment
This site only accepts credit cards as payment. Be sure to enter all the required fields. You will need to enter your ticket number and court date, which are on the front of the appearance ticket. When entering payment information, the amount due is located on the face of the notice.
Payments must be received before the due date on the face of the appearance ticket. Otherwise, the administrative law judge shall find you in default for failing to be present as scheduled and will impose a non-compliance fine.
Take care when entering your information. An error in transcribing the summons number may result in the payment not being credited in your account.
Remember to keep a copy of your receipt for future reference should you need it.
For further assistance, you may call (914) 995-8392.
