Abstract:

The Portland Council has adopted successive waves of taxi regulatory revisions. Effective in March, 1979, the previous ceiling on total permits was removed and entry was opened to qualified applicants. The new regulations also provided for flat, discount or contractual rates for certain types of trips. Authority for determining operator qualifications and other regulatory functions was vested in a new official, the Taxi Supervisor. In April, 1980, the Council re-imposed some restrictions on entry, including consideration of public need for service and the current ratio of licenses to population. It also transferred authority from the Taxi Supervisor back to the City Council. Subsequent changes adopted in June, 1980 stiffen requirements for driver permits and require operators to submit financial and operating data. This report summarizes the historical background and implementation of these regulatory changes, compares the old and new regulations and describes the local industry prior to and during the regulatory change process.
