What it is and who needs it.
What the Westchester base station bond guarantees
A vehicle-for-hire base station bond is a consumer-and-compliance guarantee to the County. Westchester County wants assurance that a licensed taxi / livery dispatch base will follow County for-hire rules, maintain required insurance, and answer for the conduct of the operation.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Westchester County (the obligee), with the riding public as the protected parties. If the base violates the County vehicle-for-hire ordinance, a harmed party or the County can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your base station license. Let it lapse and the County can suspend the license — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.
