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 dollars twenty five cents ($2.25) for

reevaluate that amount on its own initiative before December 31, 2007. If followed, this
reevaluation process shall be separate from and not require that a separate petition be
filed and fee paid by any certificate holder under section 5.72.457 of this chapter, and in

otherwise chooses to do so.

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, charge an additional sum in the exact amount of such fee to be
used to pay such fee. Further, an owner or driver of a taxicab may charge a minimum
airport rate of twelve dollars ($12.00) for service from the Salt Lake City international
airport.
SECTION 2. This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon the date of its
