Taxicabs

On April 17, 2021, the City Council approved an ordinance to restructure the City's taxi code. These changes will go into effect on July 1, 2021. The ordinance will:
- Reduce many requirements of taxi drivers and taxi companies
- Require taxi companies to obtain background investigations of their drivers from a third party service
- Require taxis to carry uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance coverage
In March, 2021 the City Manager approved new taxi regulations that reduced many fees for taxi drivers and taxi companies. The new regulations follow the recommendation of the 2020 biennial review of the taxi industry, which called for reductions in fees charged to the taxi industry.
