In response to the changing passenger transportation landscape in BC, the Passenger Transportation Board is considering changes to the taxi rates structure across the province.

The Passenger Transportation Board’s Annual Report 2022-2023 is now available online. The Annual Report 2022-2023 describes the activities of the Board during the fiscal year April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023.

Taxi licensees can request a 2023 TLCI taxi rate increase of up to 7.3%. The Passenger Transportation Board (Board) is now accepting completed TLCI request forms until the request deadline of September 17, 2023.

The Passenger Transportation Board has passed a motion to conduct a traffic congestion study in selected areas of the Lower Mainland, under section 7(1) of the Passenger Transportation Act. The study is being undertaken as a result of concern over the potential impact of passenger transportation on road congestion, particularly in high-density urban areas like Vancouver.

The Passenger Transportation Board is requesting feedback regarding potential changes to the regulation of taxi rates in BC.
