>At their scheduled October 8th Public Meeting, Village Council members will officially approve Ridgewood Taxi’s request for the addition of a 10% fuel surcharge on all taxi rides regulated by local ordinance.
The taxi company had originally requested a flat $1.00 fuel surcharge on all regulated rides. This plan was flatly rejected by Council members last month on fears that the $1.00 surcharge would negatively impact senior citizens that take very short rides.
Users of the Village sponsored discount ride program will be excluded from the 10% fuel surcharge fee.
