Toronto: The City of Toronto will be providing an update on Vehicle-for-Hire regulations to the General Government and Licensing Committee in November.
The report will speak to work completed since the 2019 Vehicle-for-Hire Bylaw Review and provide updates on outstanding Council directives. It will also include the results of an updated Transportation Impact Study and a licensing fee review.
Torontonians can share their comments on regulations for taxis, limousines and private transportation companies like Facedrive, Lyft and Uber. Topics being explored include driver training, licensing fees, safety measures and more.
In December 2020, City Council adopted amendments to the Vehicles-for-Hire Bylaw that placed a moratorium on the enforcement of the age of vehicles for the next two years.
The 2019 Council-adopted Bylaw amendments included the creation of an Accessibility Fund Program, additional data requirements, mandatory training for all drivers, and an increase in the years of driving experience for all drivers from one to three years.
