Public Participation in Ground Transportation Review of Taxis, Limos and Uber

The City of Greater Sudbury encourages public participation in an impartial review of Uber and similar technology-based companies and ride share systems. The goal of the review is to determine the implications for local consumers, taxi and limousine companies with a long-term goal to potentially amend the current By-law for the Licensing, Regulating and Governing of Taxi, Limousine and Shuttle Transportation.

Citizens are invited to complete an online survey at www.greatersudbury.ca/surveys or on paper at any Greater Sudbury Public Library until Sunday, January 24 at 11:59 p.m.

Municipal staff will be available to answer questions and accept feedback during an open house on Wednesday, January 20 at Tom Davies Square, 200 Brady Street, Sudbury. Everyone is welcome to attend anytime between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. in Committee Room C-11.

Results from the ground transportation review, including responses to public and industry surveys, will be presented in a Report to Council in early 2016.
