City to hold hearings on taxi and shuttle certificate applications; council clarifies shuttle scope
Summary
The council noted applications for a taxi certificate from Ground Transportation with Travis and a shuttle certificate from Raw Medical Transport; council clarified Raw Medical Transport is applying as a shuttle service, not as a medical-transport provider.
The Mobile City Council’s pre-meeting agenda included public hearings for two transportation certificate applications: Ground Transportation with Travis seeking a certificate to operate a taxicab service, and Raw Medical Transport applying for a certificate to operate a shuttle service.
During the pre-meeting the President and councilmembers questioned the scope of the Raw Medical Transport application. A councilmember asked, "that's just strictly a a shuttle service, not necessarily a medical shuttle, I guess?" The President confirmed, "It's just clarified that they're applying for a shuttle service and not a medical insurance worker."
The clerk listed the applications and scheduled public hearings so the council can consider whether to grant certificates of public convenience and necessity. No final determinations were made in the pre-meeting; the applications will proceed to public hearing for formal consideration.
