For the purpose of statistical analysis, both taxi and TNS are associated with the same passenger transportation regions. This is to facilitate data analysis of the taxi and TNS sectors at the same regional level. Please see the passenger transportation region policy for more information.

For the Board’s data analysis to be reliable, the coverage and quality of the data must be sufficient. When data submissions in a region reach 90% coverage with satisfactory quality levels, the Board considers the data reliable for economic analysis. Currently, data submissions from regions 1 (Lower Mainland, Whistler) and 2 (CRD) meet these standards, so the Board newsletters will focus on data analysis for these regions. As data coverage and quality improves in the rest of the province, the Board will expand publication of its economic analysis for regions 3 (Vancouver Island except CRD), 4 (Interior), and 5 (Northern/Coastal).

Each newsletter will share aggregated and anonymized data analysis only. The data of individual businesses will not be shared. By aggregating or combining the data, the Board’s goal is to provide licensees and the public a broad picture of what is happening within the taxi and TNS sectors in their region.
