Final set of discussion papers released as part of taxi and limousine regulation and service review

Discussion papers examining customer experience and taxi economics were published on ottawa.ca today as part of the City’s comprehensive review of the taxi and limousine industries. The City is examining the current regulatory framework and service delivery to residents and visitors.

 

The City has published a total of six discussion papers on its website in recent weeks as part of the Taxi and Limousine Regulation and Service Review. Previously released papers focused on: emerging issues in the taxi and limousine industries; accessibility issues; detailed case studies of regulations in other jurisdictions; and, Ottawa’s existing hired vehicle regulations.
