<br /> L-`! <br /> Taxi regulations 2 <br /> "In 985, the City of Eugene deregulated the industry inside Eugene city <br /> limits," aid Keli Osborn, Development Analyst for the Eugene Building and <br /> Permit Se vices Division. "Since deregulation, alleged problems such as <br /> inadequat insurance and poorly maintained vehicles have been raised." <br /> A p an to regulate public passenger vehicles at Mahlon Sweet Airport <br /> beginning in July 1990 and revision of Springfield regulations have led to <br /> the propo al for a metro-wide program. <br /> Amon the recommendations are mandatory mechanical inspections, insur- <br /> ance requ rements and certification of drivers. The proposal would have the <br /> City of E gene administer the program, while giving enforcement authority to <br /> both Euge a and Springfield. <br /> For ore information contact City of Eugene Building and Permit Services <br /> at 687-50 6 or the City of Springfield Business License Program at 726-3759. <br /> <br /> II <br /> <br />
