The Commission has delegated its authority to initiate proceedings, which are prosecutory in nature to the Bureau of Transportation and Safety and other bureaus with enforcement responsibilities. Pursuant to that delegated authority and Section 701 of the Public Utility Code, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby represents as follows:
1. That Little Al Cab, Inc., Respondent, maintains a principal place of business at 945 East Ellet Street, Philadelphia, PA 19150.
2. That Respondent was issued a Certificate of Public Convenience by this Commission on March 4, 1996, at A-00112764.
3. That Respondent was advised by letter dated May 10, 2005, that its medallion authority was being transferred to the Philadelphia Parking Authority. At that time, Respondent was advised that its taxicab service which had an origin and destination outside of the City of Philadelphia remained subject to the regulatory oversight of the PA PUC.
4. That Respondent was advised by letter dated September 11, 2009, that it failed to file a valid tariff with this Commission as required by 52 Pa. Code § 23.11.

The Bureau of Transportation and Safety's Motor Carrier Services and Enforcement Prosecutory Staff's proposed civil penalty for this violation is $250.00.
Wherefore, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby requests that the Commission fine Little Al Cab, Inc., the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00) for the illegal activity described in the complaint and order such other remedy as the Commission may deem to be appropriate.
