Anchorage Transportation Inspector proposes renumbering of Anchorage's cab fleet




Soon Anchorage Transportation Inspector Eric Musser will be proposing a new numbering system for Anchorage taxicabs.  The reason for the renumbering is to allow growth in the industry.  This will allow for more cab companies and each cab company can number its cabs accordingly.  When you buy a permit you are not buying the number if you are then you are defending that these permits are medallions which ATPOA has said these permits are not.  They are famous for lying to the public.  This is how the number system would go.  This is based on another city called Spokane which sets a range of numbers per cab company.  Spokane has half the amount of cabs that Anchorage does even though they have the same population.  All handicap accessible cabs will be number after 600. 

Here is how the numbering system would go
1-299 would go to Alaska Yellow Cab 
301-599 would go to Anchorage Checker Cab
600-699 for all Handicap cabs.
