accessible cabs with rear-loading capabilities;

by-laws require proof that vehicles comply with all applicable provincial and

disabilities and that the rear-loading vehicles do not comply due to the

drivers who have made a commitment to purchase an accessible vehicle with
rear-loading capabilities that they thought would comply and now have no means
to earn the money to pay for the vehicle if they do not have a taxi owner

RESOLVED that the Emergency and Protective Services Committee recommend that
City Council, through the Chair of the Emergency and Protective Services
Committee, petition the new Government of Ontario to amend, on a priority
