Bowser has appointed former DCRA administrator Eric Rogers as the interim director of the DCTC.

A new documentary will capture the drama that is the D.C. Taxicab Commission.

Various D.C. legislators dislike a slate of nine proposed taxicab color schemes enough that they’re pondering stepping in to come up with something more agreeable.

Yesterday Mayor Vince Gray unveiled four proposed color schemes for D.C.’s 6,500 taxicabs, and today five more proposed designs have been posted for a public vote.

A wide-ranging taxicab modernization bill passed the D.C. Council today, promising everything from credit card payment options to more fuel-efficient vehicles for D.C.’s troubled 6,500-cab fleet.

The process of modernizing D.C.’s 8,500 taxicabs will likely be slow, but it’s starting in an obvious place—removing the oldest cabs from circulation.

How can you tell if that D.C. taxicab is charging new, higher rates? Look for a red sticker.

Did that taxicab ride seem more expensive today? It’s a good chance it was—the city’s new schedule of cab fares goes into effect today, pushing per-mile charges from $1.50 to $2.16.

This morning the D.C. Taxicab Commission gave final approval to a fare increase proposal that will see per-mile charges jump from $1.50 to $2.16 while scrapping many surcharges. You’ll likely be paying the new fares by May.

An increase in taxicab fares that would see riders pay $2.16 per mile instead of the current rate of $1.50 per mile could take effect as soon as the end of this month, reports the Examiner.
