Goal 1<br />

Outcomes-based Service Delivery<br />

Greater focus on achieving results in key service delivery<br />

areas for the benefit <strong>of</strong> all Western Australians.<br />

Improved metropolitan taxi service<br />

The metropolitan taxi industry has improved its performance by increasing<br />

the number <strong>of</strong> ‘jobs covered’ across the Perth Metropolitan area. This has<br />

resulted in an increase in the taxi jobs picked up following a telephone<br />

request to a taxi company during Friday and Saturday night peak times from<br />

96.1 per cent in March <strong>2008</strong> to 97.8 per cent in March <strong>2009</strong>.<br />

This is the highest level <strong>of</strong> performance attained by the industry since<br />

performance standards were introduced in 2000.<br />

More than 11 million passengers per year use taxis. Service levels during<br />

non-peak times have also improved – 97.1 per cent in March <strong>2008</strong> to 98.8<br />

per cent in March <strong>2009</strong>. The following tables show these improvements over<br />

the last 12 months.<br />
