    43  revenue  collected  from the tolls at points of entry specified in para-

     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

    28    6. In the event that the Triborough bridge and tunnel authority  fails
    29  to  establish  and  maintain  tolls at the facilities specified in para-
    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

    37  shall  be  limited  to  one toll per direction so long as the vehicle in
    38  question is using E-ZPass or other form of instant, onsite  payment  and
    39  that  the  second tolled facility the driver may cross is reached within

    49  York  city  taxi  and  limousine  commission  picking  up or discharging
    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

     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

    35  cle.

    38  to establish tolls at its own facilities in its sole discretion.

    40  provision of law, violations of this article shall be adjudicated pursu-

    52  recording,  digital  record,  or other recorded images evidencing such a
    53  violation shall be available for inspection in any proceeding to adjudi-

     9           notice within ninety or more days ... One hundred fifty dollars
    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.
    17    5. A notice of liability shall be sent by first  class  mail  to  each
    18  person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation of this article.
    19  Personal  service  on the owner shall not be required. A manual or auto-
    20  matic record of mailing prepared in  the  ordinary  course  of  business
    21  shall be prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein. The notice
    22  of liability shall contain the following information:
    23    (a)  the  name  and  address  of the person alleged to be liable as an
    24  owner for a violation of this article;
    25    (b) the registration number of the vehicle involved in such violation;
    26    (c) the date, time, and location or  locations  where  such  violation

    30    (e) information advising the person charged of the manner and time  in
    31  which he or she may contest the liability alleged in the notice; and
    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.
    36    6. If the evidence of the violation is derived from an official source

    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-

    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

    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

    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.
