Anchorage Taxicab Regulations were loosened Tuesday night's Assembly meeting

Last night at the April 10, 2018 at the Anchorage Assembly.  Ordinance no 2018-06 proposed by East Anchorage Assembly person Forrest Dunbar was passed in favor by 9-2 with Dick Traini and Pete Petersen voted against the ordinance.  This reduces the annual permit fee to $1425 a year.  The starting bid of a taxicab permit will be set at $1425.  It eliminates drug testing unless you get into an accident.  The cab driver no longer has to take a chauffeur training class to become a cab driver.
