Locate the 'DCWP Licensed Vehicles' dataset (resource ID 9vpn-rpgs), which covers tow trucks alongside sightseeing buses, pedicabs, and horse-drawn cabs licensed by NYC DCWP.
Query the SODA endpoint, e.g. https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/9vpn-rpgs.json, or use the documented v3 export URLs (query.json / export.csv / export.xml) for full dataset pulls.
Filter with $where on the vehicle-type/industry field to isolate tow truck records from the other licensed vehicle categories in the same table.
Match returned plate/decal numbers against a specific vehicle to confirm it is currently DCWP-licensed as a tow truck.
Known gotchas
The dataset mixes four different license categories (tow trucks, sightseeing buses, pedicabs, horse-drawn cabs) in one table — queries must filter by industry/vehicle type or results will include irrelevant vehicle classes.
This is vehicle-level (plate/decal) licensing, distinct from the company-level Tow Truck Company license and from the DARP/ROTOW enrollment dataset — the three NYC tow datasets answer different questions and are not interchangeable.
