FROM: Philip Cranna, Enforcement and Legal Affairs Manager, SFMTA Taxi Services
Please be advised that the SFMTA Board of Directors (Board) approved changes to Taxi inspection rules at the February 4, 2025 Board of Directors meeting.
With the end of the California Brake Certificate Program, the Board approved a transition to a 19-point inspection, which includes two brake inspection points.
The SFMTA is in the process of developing forms and procedures for the 19-point inspection in conjunction with the Ground Transportation Unit (GTU).
Once forms and procedures are finalized, the SFMTA will provide the forms and further instructions. Once the forms are published, any taxis that have been inspected since October 1, 2024 will need to undergo a 19-point inspection and submit proof to GTU.
If you have any questions, please call Taxi Services at 415.646.4400.
