FROPi: Cu chiller, Director
Pirya ce & Management Services
On January 28, 1957 holders of Saint Paul Taxicab Licenses aPpeared
before the Saint Paul City Council asking for an increase in the present
ta::icab fare. In response to their request, the City Council. asked tha�
the License and Permit Division do a study and to report back with a
recommendation.
Attached is the completed staff analysis, as well as Mr. Carchedi's
recommendations. I concur with Mr. Carchedi's suggestion that the rate
issue be deferred until September in coordination with the City's budget
process. •
In fact, I su�gest that we review the r.ates annually (each Budget/
September) when the expenditure figures are available. Finally, tliere
is a need to immediately update the insurance r.equirement limits ba.sed
on c«rrent common and usual minimum levels of coverage.
' Thank you.

RE: Taxicab Fare Study
Attached is staff's analysis of taxicab rate and income study. The data
docs not allow me Co support an increase in the present taxicab fare.
It is my suFgestion that this be reviewed in August/September when the
1986 �lat;i is available. I have also requested the City Attorney's
office to prepare an amendment to Saint Paul Legislative Code 418.OE.
(Insurance and Bond Requirements) raising the minimum requirements from
25,000/50,000 and S,U00 property damase to 100,000/300,000 and 100,000
property damage. ,

RE: Taxicab Rate Information
Attached is the staff analysis of taxicab rate and income information.
Note that the average income for each St. Paul cab ride is higher than
the national average but 37 lower than the Minnesota a�erage. When
comgared to Minneapolis, St. Paul taxicab income is 27 higher. Given
these slight variations, the data is not overwhelmingly supportive
of a rate increase.
The other area you requested I review is insurance requirements. Specifically,
would insurance requirements of $100,000/$300,000 limitations increase
insurance premiums for St. Paul cab drivers. In researching this issue
we discovered that over 757 of the cab drivers in St. Paul already
carry insurance limits at these amounts as these amounts are required
by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (see attached memo) . Thus,
increasing our insurance requirements would appear to have minimal,
� if any, impact on the cost of taxicab operations.
I will be glad to discuss this issue with you if more information is
needed. I can be reached at 6240.

FROM: David Christian�
DATE: March 18, 1987
RE: Taxicab Income/Rate Comparison
Attached are the charts you requested showing comparisons between various
taxicab data for different cities.
The average number of miles per cab ride is based on St. Paul data
and the cost of operation is based on national data compiled by the
International Taxicab Association. These were the only available figures
in these two areas.
You requested that I confirm the date of the last rate increase for
Minneapolis. I called Jim Morgan, Executive Director of the Minneapolis
Taxicab Owners Association, who stated September 1980 was the date
of the last increase. '
I also spoke with Bob Janasek, St. Paul Town Taxi, who stated that
the last actual increase in rates for St. Paul was slated to go into
effect in April of 1983, but because of the slow summer most taxicab
companies didn't actuaZly raise their rates until approximately August
of 1983.
I talked to Janet Odalen of the License & Permit Division. She stated
that the previous rates (before last increase) for St. Paul were as
follows:
Previous Rates
$1.00 for first 1/8 mile
, . 10 for� each additional 1/10 mile
Present Rates
. $1. 10 for first 1/11 mile �
. 10 for each additional 1/11 mile
I did a comparison between previous and present rates on income amounts
and found the following:
Previous Rates Present Rates
First Mile $1.88 $2. 10
Additional Mile $1.00 $1. 10
Average Ride $6.79 $7.50
(5.91 miles)

RE: Taxicab Insurance Costs
I spoke with riike Ryan of Northern Underwriters (338-8818) about the
cost of insurance for taxicab drivers. Northern Underwriters apparently
is the insurance company used by many (all?) City of Minneapolis cab
drivers/companies.
He provided me with the following rltes for coverage of 100-300-25
(Minneapolis requirements) .
Minneapolis Driver St. Paul Driver
Clean Driving Record $4,200 $3,895
. 1 Ticket (107 Increase) $4,620 $4,285
2-4 Tickets (357> Increase) $5,670 $5,258
5-6 Tickets (35y Increase) $7, 140 $6,622 .
He also mentioned that last year's rates (clean record) were $3,077
for hlinneapolis, $2,644 for St. Paul, and that it was in the teens
the year before that.
Mike also explained to me that very few St. Paul cab drivers woul.d
be carrying our lower minimums (25-SO-5) . This is because the Metropolitan
Airport Commission requires the higher levels of coverage by everyone
wl�o wants to provide taxi service to and from the airport. Mike estimated
that 757 or more of St. Paul cab drivers �choose to drive to the airport,
�nd thus carry the higher levels of insurance. I called a St. Paul
cab company (Citywide Cab Company) to verify this. The manager explained
tl�at all of their drivers provide service to the airport and carry
the higher insurance coverage. He estimated the. average cost of insurance
for his drivers was around $4,500--which is in line with the figures
given to me by Mike.
As you can ��ee, raising our limits to the Minneapolis levels would
probably only affect a small percentage of St. Paul cab drivers. Mike
did give me a wild guess of $3,000 insurance premium for a cab driver
with our present minimums. He emphasized, however, that it was nothing
more than a guess� and that he wouldn' t want to be held to that figure.
