AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 5.72.455, SALT LAKE CITY CODE,
PERTAINING TO MAXIMUM TAXICAB RATES.
Be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. That Section 5.72.455, Salt Lake City Code, pertaining to maximum taxicab
rates be, and the same hereby is, amended to read as follows:
5.72.455 Maximum Rates:
A. Except as otherwise provided herein, an owner or driver of a taxicab may
establish and charge mileage rates lower than, but shall not establish and charge any mileage rate
for the use of a taxicab greater than, two and a quarter dollars ($2.25) for flag drop and ten cents
($0.10) for each one-eighteenth (1/18) mile or fraction thereof. An owner or driver of a taxicab

waiting time greater than twenty two dollars ($22.00) per hour. With respect to the flag drop rate
identified herein, the City Council may elect to reevaluate that amount on its own initiative

require that a separate petition be filed and fee paid by any certificate holder under Section
5.72.457 of this chapter, and in no way shall this process obligate the City Council to amend the
flag drop rate unless it otherwise chooses to do so.
B. The foregoing notwithstanding, an owner or driver of a taxicab who is charged a
fee by the City to deliver a passenger or to pick up a passenger at the Salt Lake City International
Airport may, in addition to the rates allowed by subsection A of this Section, or its successor,

owner or driver of a taxicab may charge a minimum airport rate of twelve dollars ($12.00) for
