The Seattle City Council Needs to Hear from You!

This Friday, February 14, the Seattle City Council will be making important decisions that will affect the ability of taxicab operators to earn a living.  The City Council will decide 1) whether to put caps on ride share companies; and 2) whether to allow for-hire vehicles the right to pick up stand and hail passengers.

We need to take action now to get our message out!

TAKE ACTION NOW!:  Email every member of the City Council immediately with the following message.  

As a Puget Sound taxi cab operator, I struggle every day so that I can earn a living for myself and my family. Recent changes in the personal transportation industry have put my livelihood at even greater risk.  To maintain a level playing field in the industry and basic fairness for taxi drivers, I urge you to put a cap on ride share companies that are operating outside the regulatory framework and to vote against stand and hail rights for for-hire vehicles. Thank you.
