The Taxicab Board is an independent quasi-judicial administrative
tribunal established under authority of The Manitoba Taxicab Act.
As legislated, Board membership includes a member of the City of
Winnipeg Council, the Chief Constable of the Winnipeg Police Force,
and five other persons appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor in
Council.
Objectives:
The mandate of the Taxicab Board is to ensure that persons within
Winnipeg receive adequate taxicab service at a reasonable cost. The
Board fulfils this objective through engaging in the following
activities:
- Conducts public hearings to consider applications for:
- more and/or different classes of licences,
- fare increases,
- industry proposals,
- interest group(s') proposals, etc.;
- Establish, review, and revise the limit on the number of taxicab licences, as determined by public convenience and necessity;
- Control and issue taxicab business licences;
- Review and approve taxicab business licence transfers;
- Issue taxicab driver licences;
- Facilitate training for taxicab drivers;
- Assess and establish the fare structure and monitor actual rates charged;
- Implement a comprehensive inspection program for taxicabs including general inspections, street patrols, mechanical inspections, and taxicab meter inspections;
- Investigate and resolve complaints against taxicab operators and drivers;
- Discipline taxicab operators and drivers by conducting Show Cause Hearings on perceived violations of legislation and regulations, or on complaints;
- Monitor the accessibility of transportation for the physically disabled;
- Monitor the health and viability of the taxicab industry in Winnipeg;
- Determine policy and procedures which arise in the exercise of the Board's discretionary powers and provide policy input to the Government on broader taxicab policy issues; and
- Maintain a liaison with the taxicab industry, user interest groups, other taxicab regulatory agencies and governments.
