Title
An ordinance relating to definitions of prereserved group transport and shuttle vehicles.
Sections
100-3-20 am
100-3-23 am
Analysis
This ordinance clarifies the definitions of "prereserved group" and "shuttle service" to assure that a vehicle operating as a shuttle vehicle for a prereserved group must have at least 5 passengers at the point of origin or the point of destination. This clarification prohibits operation of a shuttle vehicle in a manner, similar to a taxicab, where individual or small numbers of passengers are picked up at a major point of passenger travel generation such as an airport or intermodal station and conveyed to homes or similar destinations.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Section 100-3-20 and 3 of the code is amended to read:
