Cobourg Council – Cobourg Will Schedule Public Meeting on Vehicles for Hire

In City Hall

By Cecilia Nasmith/Today’s Northumberland
The process of modernizing Cobourg’s vehicle-for-hire regulations will be the subject of a public meeting yet to be scheduled, following council’s vote at Monday’s committee-of-the-whole meeting.

The report from Municipal Clerk and Director of Legislative Services Brent Larmer noted that the advent of such players as Uber and Lyft to the local vehicles-for-hire industry started the process of revising the town’s regulatory system. There was also the fact that the Taxicab Licensing Bylaw does not address limousines.

Council received by-laws as part of the report, and passed the motion authorizing the scheduling of a public meeting to get further feedback from members of the public, the taxi industry and representatives of ride-sharing services.
