Taxicab Regulation in U.S. Cities. Volume 1. Final Report

摘要

The study objectives are: (1) to determine how cities currently regulate taxis; (2) to assess the degree of taxicab regulatory changes being considered by cities; and (3) to identify reasons for taxi regulatory changes. The study focuses on three aspects of taxi regulations: administrative procedures, entry controls, and fare setting. Overall, the case study cities cover all important aspects of taxicab regulation and regulatory and regulatory revision. The study results show that most cities regulate both entry into the industry and fare levels, and relatively few cities have changed, or are considering changing, to taxicab deregulation.
