1.                  Provide proof that his or her Accessible Taxicab meets all applicable provincial and federal standards for the provision of Taxicab Services to Persons with disabilities; and

 

2.                  Commence operating his or her Accessible Taxicabs.

 

AND WHEREAS that motion was intended to give individuals more time to obtain Accessible Vehicles that meet provincial standards and to effectively increase the options available to them to operate rear-loading accessible cabs which appear to be desired because of affordability and functionality;

 

AND WHEREAS in December 2002, the Province enacted Ontario Regulation 346/02, in part to permit modified vans with rear-loading capabilities to operate as accessible cabs, however that regulation inadvertently left in certain requirements that, if narrowly interpreted, continue to prevent the operation of modified vans with rear-loading capabilities;

 

AND WHEREAS the Ontario Transportation Minister advised City staff that the Government was committed to approve the appropriate changes to the regulations to the Highway Traffic Act, and that the required Regulation had already been signed by the Lieutenant Governor but not filed prior to the Provincial election being called, thereby leaving the rear-loading vehicles non-compliant;

 

AND WHEREAS based on that commitment there are ten (10) qualified drivers who are waiting to purchase accessible cabs with rear-loading capabilities;

 

AND WHEREAS the taxi by-laws require proof that vehicles comply with all applicable provincial and federal standards for the provision of Taxicab Services to Persons with disabilities and that the rear-loading vehicles do not comply due to the current provincial requirements;

 

AND WHEREAS the qualified 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 plate;

 

NOW THEREFORE BE IT 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 basis, the relevant regulations to clearly allow for modified vans with rear-entry capabilities to operate as accessible cabs in Ontario.

Moved by Councillor C. Doucet

Seconded by Councillor D. Deans

 

WHEREAS the new on-street parking fees bring the cost of an annual permit to almost $600;

 

AND WHEREAS this annual fee is grossly out of line with other major cities (e.g. Montreal - $50 per year for the 1st car and $100 per year for subsequent cars; Toronto - $120 per year if you have no off-street parking and $340 per year if you have off-street parking);
