RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance approving DallaslFort Worth
International Airport Board {Airport Board) Resolution 2005-12-480 which amends Chapter 4, Section 6-1
Fares afi the Code of Rules and Regulations of the Airport Board to increase the incentive fares that taxicab
driver, holder, or owner shall charge a passenger.
DISCUSSION;
At its meeting on December 1, 2005, the Airport Board approved an amendment to Chapter 4, Section 6-1
Fares of the Airport Board's Code of Rules and Regulations. Both state law and the 1968 Contract and
Agreement between the cities of Fart Worth and Dallas require that amendments to the Code of Rules and
Regulations of the Airport Board must be approved by the City Councils of both cities.
The Cade of Rules and Regulations of the Airport Board requires a taxicab driver, holder nr owner to not
quote, request, or charge a fare for the operating of a taxicab at the Airport that is inconsistent with the rates
authorized by the City of Dallas. On November 9, 2005 the City Council of Dallas authorized an increase in
taxicab fares. As a result of the increase by the City of Dallas an amendment to the Code of Rules and
Regulations of the Airport Board was proposed.
The Airport Board determined that the proposed revision to the Code of Rules and Regulations of the
Airport Board would be consistent with the rates authorized by the City of Dallas. The incentive fare for
each trip passing through a parking plaza and terminating inside the Airport boundary will be increased from
$13.50 to $1A~.50. The incentive fare for each trip passing through a parking plaza and terminating outside
the Airport boundary will increase from $15.00 to $17.00.
