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

On March 29, 2023, the Passenger Transportation Board (Board) gave notice to licensees regarding potential changes to taxi and TNS rates regulation and invited licensees to provide feedback on the considered options. In June 2023, the Board reviewed feedback from the taxi sector and decided to initiate the construction of a new custom TCI.

The Passenger Transportation Board (Board) has updated its three-year Strategic Plan (2023-2026). This Strategic Plan focuses on the following: positioning the Board to fulfill its expanded role and mandate; supporting ongoing organizational transformation; strengthening engagement with interest parties; and, promoting a healthy and vibrant passenger transportation industry in BC.

The Passenger Transportation Board is providing notice to taxi licensees of changes the Board intends to make to Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) in their licences.

Recognizing the significant impact COVID-19 has had on the passenger transportation industry, the Board has extended its BC-wide extension for the activation of Taxi modernization vehicles, and vehicles approved after March 2020, until December 31, 2023.
