Application and Hearing Process

1. (a) A certificate holder may apply for one (1) additional taxicab in the existing territory without a hearing under an expedited application process.

   2. (2) Record of calls, which are refused or referred by the certificate holder to another authorized taxicab provider; and (3) Other information presented by the certificate holder to prove the need for additional authority.
3. (c) Upon completion by the commissioner of its analysis, a Determination shall be made as to whether the additional authority shall be granted. If the certificate holder is not satisfied with the commissioner's determination, the certificate holder may request a hearing to prove additional need.
4. (d) The expedited application process shall not be utilized within one (1) year from the date of the initial licensing of a certificate holder nor more than once every two (2) years thereafter from the date of the last written final decision or order.
5. (e) The expedited application process shall not be utilized by any certificate holder who has a current contract with Bradley International Airport to provide taxicab service in the queue line.
