Which county is not within the Qualified TLC FHV Jurisdiction?

• A. Westchester
• B. Richmond
• C. Staten Island
• D. Nassau

Answer: (A)

The correct choice identifies Westchester County as not being within the Qualified TLC FHV Jurisdiction. The jurisdiction for for-hire vehicles, regulated by the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC), primarily encompasses the five boroughs of New York City—Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. While Richmond County is synonymous with Staten Island, and Nassau County is adjacent to New York City, Westchester County is distinctly located to the north and does not fall under the TLC’s direct regulatory authority for FHVs. Understanding this helps clarify the geographical limits of the TLC's jurisdiction and the specific areas where they exert oversight and regulation for for-hire vehicles.
