Notice of report ­ taxicab industry and emerging technologies Monday, December 7, 2015 at 7 p.m. Council Chamber, Town Hall, 1225 Trafalgar Road Administrative Services Committee (ASC) In accordance with the Public Notice Requirement Policy, notice is hereby given of Council's intention to review taxicab regulations contained in Licensing By-law 2015-075. The Town of Oakville has regulated taxis since 1965 to ensure passenger safety and fair consistent pricing. The town currently licenses traditional taxis and accessible taxis. New technology has led to considerable changes in the industry, and the town has been approached on a number of issues including: non-traditional forms of taxi operation, pricing, fairness, competition, contracting services and accessibility requirements. For these reasons the Town of Oakville has undertaken a comprehensive review of its taxi by-law, and has consulted with the public, taxi drivers and owners. On Monday, December 7, 2015, ASC will consider a staff recommendation to investigate open entry deregulation of the taxicab industry. Anyone wishing to speak to this matter at the meeting is invited to do so. Written comments may also be submitted for distribution at the meeting and should be directed to the Town Clerk, no later than noon on Monday, December 7, 2015, by email at townclerk@oakville.ca, or by mail: Town Clerk, 1225 Trafalgar Rd., Oakville, ON, L6H 0H3 The decision of the ASC will be forwarded to Council for consideration on Monday, December 14, 2015 at 7 p.m. in the Council Chamber.
