Businesses

4. Ordinance Recommendations Continue with Current Proposal
Compatible with current DFW Airport Requirements – Fort Worth or Dallas issues:
Company operating authority
Driver & Vehicle authorized by Fort Worth or Dallas
Similar to Dallas ordinance –
Greater company responsibility – less City processing

5. Ordinance Recommendations Continue with Current Proposal
City defines requirements
Company assures/certifies compliance – reports to City
Company - first line for customer satisfaction
City engages if necessary

6. Stakeholder Engagement
7 Group Meetings with Stakeholders
March 11, 2016

7. Stakeholder Engagement Comments
Summary
Similar comments to previous submittals
Background checks should be performed by City
TNC’s – desire self compliance with limited QC by City
City Driver ID – possible negative impact on supply of TNC drivers
City Vehicle Safety Requirements – difficult to certify by some companies and possible negative impact on supply of drivers/vehicles
Allow salvage titled vehicles

8. Stakeholder Engagement Comments
Summary
Fees
$75 Driver fee might discourage part-time drivers – too expensive for driver – let Company pay driver fee

Salvage Vehicles
Allow salvage vehicles unless damaged by flooding/water
Audit Provision – Q/C for company self verification
