Taxicab Vehicle Replacement

ASSIGNMENT OF A VEHICLE TO A PERMIT

Upon issuance of a taxicab permit, the permit holder must identify a vehicle to be assigned by the City to the taxicab permit.  The vehicle to be assigned to a permit must comply with all of the City’s and the State of Alaska’s vehicle equipment and inspection requirements.  A permit holder must make application to the City Clerk for assignment of a vehicle to the permit holder’s permit within 45 days of the issuance of the permit.

LOSS OR DAMAGE

Immediately upon the destruction, substantial damage, or loss of a motor vehicle assigned to a taxicab permit, the permit holder must notify the Director of Public Safety in writing of the loss or damage, and of the permit holder’s plan for continuing vehicle-for-hire services to the public.  If the damaged vehicle is not repaired and placed back in service or replace within 45 days after substantial damage, the taxicab permit will be revoked.

If the permit holder purchases a new vehicle, the permit holder must make application to the City Clerk to change the vehicle assigned to a permit.
