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 dollars twenty five cents ($2.25) for
flag drop and twenty cents ($0.20) for each one-eleventh (1/11) mile or fraction thereof
An owner or driver of a taxicab may establish and charge a rate for waiting time lower
than, but shall not establish any rate for 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 before December 31, 2008. 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 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, 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
first publication.
Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah this 12 day of
