About the Taxi Town Hall meetings

The SFMTA has scheduled a series of Town Hall meetings for a continuing taxi industry open forum to discuss the proposed reform of Proposition K, San Francisco Administrative Code Appendix 6. The discussion of Proposition K Reform will be the first priority of the October Town Hall meetings.

In addition, the Board of Directors of the SFMTA adopted new taxi industry rules and regulations that became effective on June 19, 2009. To the extent that meeting times remain following Proposition K reform discussions, the SFMTA will use the time for discussion of proposed amendments to the regulations. Comments to the regulations may also be submitted in writing in accordance with the instructions below. The regulations are codified in the San Francisco Transportation Code, Article 1100 (Division II) (PDF).

These are informal meetings, in which members of the taxi industry and members of the public are invited to attend to express their ideas and opinions.

These meetings are your opportunity to give us your opinions and ideas about Proposition K reform and taxi regulations.

Please try to be as specific as possible when providing comments and suggestions. Which section(s) and subsection(s) of proposed regulations would you like to change? How should the language be changed? What is the problem that the regulation or proposal is creating, or what is the problem that the regulation or proposal does not solve? The more specific you can be, the easier it will be for the SFMTA to consider your suggestions and ideas.
