About the Taxi Advisory Council

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) Board of Directors has authorized the formation of a Taxi Advisory Council (TAC) that will provide diverse representation from all segments of the San Francisco taxi industry to monitor the implementation of the Taxi Medallion Sales Pilot Program and advise the Board on long-term reform.  The 15-member Advisory Council will be made up of:

  • three representatives from the largest three companies: Yellow, Luxor and DeSoto,
  • three representatives from smaller companies,
  • three medallion holders not employed by a company,
  • three drivers on the waiting list, and
  • three drivers not on the waiting list.

The Taxi Advisory Council is an advisory body to the SFMTA, and shall “monitor the issues that arise during the Taxi Medallion Sales Pilot Program, evaluate the effects of the Pilot Program on all sectors of the taxi industry, and provide advice to the SFMTA Board of Directors and the Director of Transportation.” SF Transportation Code, Division II, Section 1109(e)(11). The Advisory Council is required to prepare a report containing its assessment of the Taxi Medallion Sales Pilot Program and its recommendations regarding a long-term Medallion reform program no later than December 31, 2010. The Advisory Council will be staffed by personnel from the Taxi Services section of the SFMTA.

Please note that the Taxi Advisory Council was created in order to monitor and report to the SFMTA Board on the effects of the Taxi Medallion Sales Pilot Program on the San Francisco taxi industry for a period of two years. S.F. Transportation Code Section 1116(k).

The TAC held its first meeting in August, 2010. The final meeting of the TAC's original two-year term is tentatively scheduled for July 23, 2012. Whether or not the SFMTA Board chooses to re-authorize the TAC or a successor taxi industry advisory body, Taxi Town Hall Meetings will continue at the SFMTA as a forum for taxi industry discussions with the SFMTA.
