Supershuttle DFW to operate 100 shuttles on public streets alleys and thoroughfares in the City of Fort

number of shuttles Supershuttle. DFW is authorized to operate upon City streets and thoroughfares from
100 to 20 shuttles
On May 5 2005 a request was received from Mr Stephen Janicek, General Manager of Supershuttle
DFW to increase the number of shuttles the Company is authorized to operate from 20 to 100 The request
was made in response to action taken on April 8 2005 by the Dallas/Fort Worth international Airport, which
authorized a concessionaire contract that requires all shared-ride service providers to service ten counties
instead of six counties. The number of shuttles that are currently authorized in the City of Fort Worth is not
sufficient to operate within those surrounding counties.
The increase in the number of shuttles will result in $8 000 00 more in grant of privilege fee revenue
