Application must be submitted at least forty-five (45) days before a scheduled
meeting of the Transportation Commission.
After the Mass Transit Agency reviews the application for completeness and accuracy, the
application will be scheduled for the next meeting of the Transportation Commission. Written
notice of the hearing will be given to the applicant at least fifteen (15) calendar days before the
date of the hearing.
If your application is approved by the Transportation Commission, you have thirty (30) days to
get your vehicle ready for service. This includes:
1) Having your dome placed on top of vehicle with the business name
and telephone number
2) Fare decals located in front (dashboard) and back (of front seats)
3) Vehicle insured with the proper amounts and naming the Mass Transit Agency
as certificate holder
4) Have vehicle inspected by the Police Department
After your vehicle has been inspected, submit your completed paperwork to the Mass Transit
Agency to receive your certificate. If you fail to comply within the thirty (30) days, you will
need to reapply for a taxi license. Once the operator is ready to put his car in operation, the
operator must:
1) Fill out an Application for Taxicab License
2) Submit copies of your original registration, safety check, Certificate of
Insurance (not insurance card), and Attachment A ? Zoning Verification signed by the
Planning Director.
Once all documents are submitted and verified by the Transit Agency, a taxicab license and
sticker will be issued. The fee is $120 annually (July to June), and is prorated on a monthly
basis. For example; you obtain a license in December, the cost is $60.00.
Taxicab licenses must be renewed each year between June 1 and June 30. Failure to renew by
June 30 will result in your license being revoked.
