  • Vehicle-For-Hire Accessibility Fund Summary of Public Consultations
    Document 1: Vehicle-for-Hire Accessibility Fund Summary of Public Consultations Vehicle-for-Hire Accessibility Fund: Summary of Public Consultations 1.0 Project Overview On April 13, 2016, City Council approved the report entitled “Regulating Vehicles for Hire in the City of Ottawa – Taxis, Limousines and Private Transportation Companies”. As part of its deliberations, Council delegated authority to the General Manager, Emergency and Protective Services (EPS) to establish a voluntary per-trip surcharge for accessibility to be paid by licensed Private Transportation Companies (PTCs), with any funds received from the surcharge to be directed to a dedicated reserve fund. In July 2017, the City of Ottawa entered into an agreement with Uber Canada Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Uber”), who agreed to pay a voluntary accessibility surcharge of $0.07 per-trip to support accessible transportation in the City of Ottawa. This voluntary gesture took effect with the licensing of Uber on October 4, 2016. By the end of 2017, Uber had contributed approximately $450,000 to the Vehicle-for-Hire (VFH) Accessibility Fund. In April 2016, Council further directed that the General Manager, EPS establish a Steering Committee comprised of internal and external stakeholders to develop a consultation strategy with respect to how fees generated through the Vehicle-for-Hire (VFH) Accessibility Fund could be used to offset costs for a number of programs supporting accessible transportation. The VFH Accessibility Fund Steering Committee, chaired by the General Manager, EPS, is comprised of members from the City’s Accessibility Office, the Accessibility Advisory Committee, By-law & Regulatory Services, Transportation Services, and City Councillor Shad Qadri.
