The City of Toronto is inviting residents and industry members to share their views on vehicle-for-hire regulations at a series of public meetings that start on September 17.
The bylaw for the licensing of vehicles-for-hire (Chapter 546) regulates taxicabs, limousines and private transportation companies (PTCs) such as Uber and Lyft and their drivers. The bylaw came into effect in July 2016.
The City is undertaking a review of this bylaw, as well as responding to a number of outstanding directives from the Licensing and Standards Committee and City Council. The review will include:
Topic: Toronto Taxi Licence (TTL) North York Civic Centre, Council Chamber 5100 Yonge St. Monday, September 17, 2 to 4 p.m.
