Cheh issues resident survey for taxi system overhaul

Council member Mary M. Cheh is asking D.C. residents to weigh in on taxicab colors, fares and safety initiatives through an online survey.

Ms. Cheh, Ward 3 Democrat, and council member Tommy Wells, Ward 6 Democrat, introduced legislation this month to overhaul taxi services in the District. The bill requires all cabs to provide electronic payment methods, use GPS tracking and adopt a uniform color, among other reforms.

An online survey hosted on Ms. Cheh’s website allows users to weigh in on fare increases, their preferred color for city cabs and a checklist of suggested improvements.
