Cab Drivers Mobilize to Challenge PPA: TWA to contest 21-pages of new fees and regulations

by Media Mobilizing Project | 05.07.2008

WHAT: Philadelphia Parking Authority Public Hearing

WHERE: Philadelphia Convention Center (12th and Arch St.) Rm. 108B

WHEN: Thursday, May 8 - 9AM-12PM

During these times of exorbitant fuel prices, the Taxi Workers Alliance (TWA) is strongly opposing 21-pages of newly imposed fines, fees and regulations the Philadelphia Parking Authority is proposing at a publc hearing tomorrow. The new fines and regulations will make it imposible for cabbies to feed and clothe their families forcing TWA and taxi drivers to seriously consider a citywide strike.

One example of a new fine the PPA is attempting to levy on drivers: A $525 fee for drivers who are either forced or choose to change radio dispatch companies.
