     6  rate, or fifty-six percent of the cost of  the  pay-by-mail  rate,  that
     7  would be charged to a vehicle at the tolls at the points of entry speci-
     8  fied in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of subdivision one of this section;
     9    (b)  Paragraphs  (b),  (c),  (d)  and  (g) of subdivision four of this

    30  graphs (a) through (g) of subdivision four of  this  section  at  levels
    31  consistent  with  the  ratios  established  by  subdivision five of this

    33  facilities  specified  in  paragraphs  (a) and (b) of subdivision one of
    34  this section shall lapse and be of no force and effect. Vehicles  regis-
    35  tered  in  any borough that lacks subway service to the central business

    50  passengers within the hail exclusionary zone as defined by the taxi  and
    51  limousine commission.
    52    (b)  Such  charge shall be determined as follows: twelve cents per two
    53  tenths of one mile traveled at a speed of six miles  per  hour  or  more
    54  plus twenty cents per two tenths of one mile traveled at a speed of less
    55  than six miles per hour, within the hail exclusionary zone as defined by
    56  the  taxi  and  limousine commission. The charges specified herein shall

        A. 9633--B                          5

     5  and limousine commission and remitted to the Move New York  Highway  and
     6  Transit Authority on a quarterly basis.

     8  cle or taxi subject to the surcharge specified by subdivision  seven  of
     9  this section shall be exempt from the tolls specified in paragraphs (a),
    10  (b) and (c) of subdivision one of this section.
    11    8.  (a)  A commercial vehicle, as defined by the New York city traffic
    12  rules, equipped with an operational commercial E-ZPass,  shall  only  be
    13  charged  a  single round trip toll per day notwithstanding the number of
    14  times such vehicle may cross the perimeter of the tolls  established  by
    15  this section.
    16    (b)  All  vehicles and vehicle types or classes shall pay the new toll
    17  crossings with the exception of emergency vehicles  and  New  York  city
    18  government  vehicles  as  may  be  provided  pursuant to the rule making
    19  authority of the Move New York Highway and Transit Authority Board.
    20    9. It shall be a violation of this section for the owner of any  vehi-
    21  cle  subject  to a toll charge pursuant to this article or any surcharge
    22  pursuant to subdivision seven of this section to fail to pay  such  toll
    23  charge  or  surcharge to the department within thirty days after the end
    24  of a day in which the vehicle has incurred such toll charge or surcharge
    25  pursuant to this section or within fifteen  days  of  receiving  written
    26  notice, whichever is later.

    28  Transit Authority and the Triborough  bridge  and  tunnel  authority  is
    29  hereby  authorized  to  establish  a demand-based pricing scheme whereby
    30  tolls shall be higher during times of heavy  traffic  volume  and  lower
    31  during  times  of lighter traffic volume, provided, however, that in all
    32  cases revenue raised from the fees established  by  this  section  shall
    33  meet  or exceed the revenue that would have been raised if rates did not
    34  change throughout the day, as provided for in this section of this arti-
    35  cle.

    37  fy the authority and power of the Triborough bridge and tunnel authority
    38  to establish tolls at its own facilities in its sole discretion.

    10    The  department  of  finance  of  the  city of New York or the parking
    11  violations bureau shall adjudicate liability imposed by this section.
    12    4. An imposition of liability pursuant to this section  shall  not  be
    13  deemed  a  conviction  as  an operator and shall not be made part of the
    14  operating record of the person upon whom such liability is  imposed  nor
    15  shall  it be used for insurance purposes in the provision of motor vehi-
    16  cle insurance coverage.

    24  owner for a violation of this article;

    32    (f)  a warning to advise the person charged that failure to contest in
    33  the manner and time provided shall be deemed an admission of  liability,
    34  may subject the person to additional penalties, and that a default judg-
    35  ment may be issued thereon.

    42    7. If an owner receives a notice of liability pursuant to this section
    43  for  any time period during which the vehicle was reported to the police
    44  department as having been stolen, it shall be  a  valid  defense  to  an
    45  allegation of liability for a violation of this article that the vehicle
    46  had  been  reported  to  the  police  as  stolen  prior  to the time the
    47  violation occurred and had not been recovered by such time. For purposes
    48  of asserting the defense provided by this subdivision it shall be suffi-

    55    (i) prior to the violation the lessor has filed with the department of
    56  finance of the city of New York or the  parking  violations  bureau  and

        A. 9633--B                          7
 
     1  paid  the  required  filing  fee  in  accordance  with the provisions of
     2  section two hundred thirty-nine of this chapter; and
     3    (ii)  within thirty-seven days after receiving notice from the depart-
     4  ment of finance of the city of New York or the parking violations bureau
     5  of the date and time of a liability, together with the other information
     6  contained in the original notice of liability, the lessor submits to the
     7  department of finance of the city of New York or the parking  violations
     8  bureau the correct name and address of the lessee of the vehicle identi-
     9  fied  in the notice of liability at the time of such violation, together
    10  with such other additional information contained in the rental lease  or
    11  other contract document, as may be reasonably required by the department
    12  of  finance  of  the  city  of New York or the parking violations bureau
    13  pursuant to regulations that may be promulgated for such purpose.
    14    (b) Failure to comply with subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of  this
    15  subdivision  shall render the owner liable for the penalty prescribed in
    16  this section.
    17    (c) Where the lessor complies with the provisions of this subdivision,
    18  the lessee of such vehicle on the date of such violation shall be deemed
    19  to be the owner of such vehicle for purposes of this section,  and  such
    20  lessee shall be subject to liability for a violation of this article and
    21  shall be sent a notice of liability pursuant to subdivision four of this
    22  section.
    23    9.  If  the  owner  liable for a violation of this article was not the
    24  operator of the vehicle at the time of  the  violation,  the  owner  may
    25  maintain an action for indemnification against the operator.
    26    10. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, no owner of a
    27  vehicle  shall  be subject to a penalty imposed pursuant to this section
    28  if the operator of such vehicle was operating such vehicle  without  the
    29  consent  of the owner at the time such operator committed a violation of
    30  this article. For the purposes of this subdivision,  there  shall  be  a
    31  presumption that the operator of such vehicle was operating such vehicle
    32  with  the  consent  of  the  owner at the time such operator committed a
    33  violation of this article.
    34    11. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the  liability
    35  of an operator of a vehicle for any violation of this article.

    35  three or more summonses or other  process,  issued  within  an  eighteen
    36  month  period,  charging  that such motor vehicle was parked, stopped or

    49  tribunal  that  he  has  complied with the rules and regulations of said
    50  tribunal following entry of a final decision. Where  an  application  is
    51  denied  pursuant  to  this  section, the commissioner may, in his or her

        A. 9633--B                         19

     3  sion. Such denial shall only remain in effect as long as  the  summonses
     4  remain  unanswered,  or  in  the case of an administrative tribunal, the
     5  registrant fails to comply with  the  rules  and  regulations  following

    37  sion. Such denial shall only remain in effect as long as  the  summonses
    38  remain  unanswered,  or  in  the case of an administrative tribunal, the
    39  registrant fails to comply with  the  rules  and  regulations  following
