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 />
