OCTAP Regulations, Section 7, Section 8
 

Upon issuance of a Company Permit and prior to operating, Permittee shall present each Taxicab listed in the Permit to the OCTAP facility for a Taxicab inspection. OCTAP may, at its discretion, conduct Taxicab inspections at the Permittee’s facility.  Upon meeting all inspection standards and upon passing the Taxicab inspection, OCTAP shall issue a nontransferable Taxicab Permit sticker for each approved Taxicab.  The Company Permit sticker must always be affixed to the left-hand corner of the rear window of the Taxicab for which the sticker is issued.  The Taxicab Permit is valid for one (1) year from day, month and year of issuance.

Taxicab Substitution

A Permittee may replace any Taxicabs listed in the Company Permit with another Taxicab upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

• Surrender of the Taxicab to be replaced to OCTAP for removal of the Taxicab Permit sticker;

• Passing a Taxicab inspection by the replacement Taxicab; and

• Payment of Taxicab Permit transfer fee.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions stated above, OCTAP shall delete the vehicle identification number of the Taxicab to be replaced in the Company Permit and add the Taxicab identification number of the replacement Taxicab. OCTAP shall issue a new Taxicab Permit sticker for the replacement Taxicab that shall be valid for the term remaining under the Taxicab Permit sticker of the replaced Taxicab.

Taxicab Permit Renewal

The Taxicab Permit shall be renewed annually by presenting each Taxicab listed in the permit application to the OCTAP facility for a Taxicab inspection at least five(5) business days prior to the end of the permit period, and by paying all applicable fees. OCTAP may, at its discretion, conduct Taxicab inspections at the Permittee’s facility.

Taxicab Permit Renewal Sticker

Upon the successful completion of the Taxicab inspection, OCTAP shall place a new expiration date sticker on the Taxicab Permit sticker for each of the Taxicabs registered in the Company Permit.
