provisions of Title 13, California Code of Regulations (the latter regulations being those that areequally applied to private vehicle drivers in the state, generally). 66TCPs must also enroll in California’s Employer Pull-Notice (“EPN”) program,administered by the California Department of Motor Vehicles, which provides employers andregulatory agencies a means of promoting driver safety through the ongoing review of driverrecords. Through EPN, employers of drivers are notified of any of the following on the drivingrecord of any employee driver: convictions, failures to appear, accidents, driver licensesuspensions or revocations, and any other actions taken against the driving privilege. Anemployer enrolled in the EPN program is assigned a requester code which is added to anemployee’s driver license (“DL”) record. When an employee’s DL record is updated to recordan action/activity, a check is made electronically to determine if a pull notice is on file. If theaction/activity is one that is specified to be reported under the EPN program, a driver record isgenerated and mailed to that employer.TCP drivers are not required to undergo a fingerprinting check in California and neitherare TNCs; only local taxicab drivers are required to have their fingerprints “run” as part of thebackground check process.c. <strong>Background</strong> check process (SFMTA)In order to become a taxicab driver, one must apply for an SFMTA permit, or “A-card.” Theapplication fee is $255.50. 67 In addition to standard requirements such as providing proof ofresidency, holding a California driver’s license and undergoing a driver training course, in orderto obtain an A-card a driver must also submit to a Live Scan fingerprint and background checkfrom a Live Scan location designated by the SFMTA. The fingerprints are electronicallytransmitted to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for completion of a national criminal recordcheck. 68 Digitizing the fingerprints enables the electronic transfer of the fingerprint image data66 http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/NR/rdonlyres/D5E763FD-5706-4F7D-9F95-1DE383C4F92C/0/BasicInformationforPassengerCarriersandApplicants_Nov2014_11172014lct.pdf We separatelyconfirmed with the CPUC that TCP permit holders are NOT required to be fingerprinted.67 Presently, due to a current shortage of taxi drivers, the SFMTA is waiving the $255.50 application fee for newdriver permit applicants until further notice68 https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&urile=wcm:path:/dmv_content_en/dmv/vehindustry/ol/livescan{11081861:2} 33
along with personal descriptor information to computers at the DOJ in a matter of seconds,instead of the days required to send hard copy fingerprint cards through the mail. The DOJ's goalis to process 95% of the digitized fingerprints within three (3) days. The cost to electronicallyfingerprint the applicant is determined by the local Live Scan agency. The cost of fingerprintingfor taxicab drivers is either $57 or $60, depending on the fingerprinting location:• Live Scan Fingerprinting located at 601 Van Ness Ave, #E, San Francisco, CA 94102:$60• Live Scan Fingerprinting located at 77 Van Ness Ave, Ste 101, San Francisco, CA94102: $57• Live Scan Fingerprinting located at 6748 Mission St, Daly City, CA 94014: $57According to DOJ, local facilities can charge a fee sufficient to recover their costs. The$32 DOJ criminal record check fee is collected at the Live Scan site. 69 SFMTA runs thisLiveScan fingerprint check against the DOJ’s national criminal database, but does not run acheck against the FBI’s AFIS.Further, driver-applicants must obtain a ten-year printout of his/her driving record fromthe DMV, and the printout must be dated within 30 days of the application. 70 The driverapplicantmust not have any prior convictions of a crime that would, in the judgment of theSFMTA, present a risk to public safety if the permit is granted, including, but not limited to,convictions involving sexual assault, the use of a vehicle in the commission of a felony, fraud,violence against a person, reckless disregard for public safety, two or more recent convictions ofdrug-related offenses, or two or more recent convictions of driving under the influence within theprevious five years, whether or not such convictions occurred while driving a motor vehicle forhire.d.
