Public Safety Issues: Unregulated <strong>Taxi</strong>s<br />
• Safety <strong>of</strong> our citizens and tourist community is<br />
always a primary concern.<br />
• Getting into a car with a stranger driving presents<br />
certain hazards.<br />
• We can’t assume that every taxi driver is a danger<br />
to the community.<br />
• No compelling evidence that riders <strong>of</strong> cabs in<br />
<strong>Orange</strong> <strong>County</strong> are being placed in harm’s way.<br />
• Safety issues are generally addressed<br />
– City <strong>of</strong> Orlando via ordinance<br />
– Private property (hotels, theme parks, malls, etc.) via<br />
contract directly with cab companies<br />
– OCCC via internal standards<br />
– Residents call cabs from phone book or by previous use
