Local Ordinances to Help Taxis

What’s happening? L.A. is considering ordinances that would give taxis competitive edge with ride share.

Why is this important? The ordinances would give approved ride-hailing applications access to traffic and other city data to make dispatching riders more efficient. Further, taxis will no longer have to be yellow, but simply must bear a taxi decal.

How will this be important? LA is removing existing caps on taxi medallions.
