Ridgewood Taxi: No License to Operate Since 2008 – Failure to Provide Village Officials With Certificate of Liability Insurance
During Wednesday evening’s Village Council Work Session, it was revealed that Ridgewood Taxi has been operating in direct violation of a Village ordinance related to “taxi service” requirements since November of 2008. The company has been either unable or unwilling to obtain liability insurance for its vehicle fleet as required by Village ordinance.
Currently, Ridgewood Taxi’s co-owner claims to have liability insurance for her vehicles in the amount of $50K or $100K per vehicle, depending upon which vehicle. Village ordinance requires liability insurance of $1 million per vehicle notwithstanding.
Ridgewood Mayor Keith D. Killion has directed Ridgewood Taxi to immediately provide Village officials with proof that their entire fleet is covered by liability insurance, or risk shut down of their operation within the Village.
The Fly asks, would you operate a taxi fleet with liability insurance that didn’t exceed $100K per vehicle?
