Transportation
What’s happening? We’ve talked about L.A. working on ordinances to give the taxi industry a boost by sharing data and loosening medallion restrictions. Welcome Austin, Texas to this mindset. From 2017 to 2021, taxi rides decreased 91%
Why is this important? Austin is considering an operating authority licensing model in lieu of the old way, a franchise licensing model
How will this be important? This means taxis will be regulated like vehicle-for-hire companies. e.g. limousines, charter vans, charter buses, touring and sight-seeing coaches, pedicabs and low-speed electric vehicles.
