Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Bureau of
Transportation and Safety v. United Taxi Company;
Doc. No. C-2010-2150673
COMPLAINT The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) is a duly constituted agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania empowered to regulate public utilities within the Commonwealth. 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 United Taxi Company, Respondent, maintains its principal place of business at 250 Mercer Street, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865.
2. That, Respondent, was issued a certificate of public convenience by this Commission on June 30, 2008, at Application A-00123614.
3. That, on March 30, 2009, Eastern Regional Manager David W. Loucks was unable to contact Respondent, by telephone, to arrange for a vehicle inspection. A certified letter was mailed, on March 31, 2009, requiring Respondent to contact the Commission to submit to an annual taxicab inspection by a Commission Enforcement Officer. The certified mail was returned by the U.S. Post Office on April 27, 2009, as not deliverable as addressed and unable to forward.
4. That, as of May 7, 2010, respondent has failed to contact the Commission, and has failed to have an annual taxicab inspection.
5. Pursuant to 66 Pa.C.S. § 506, duly authorized officers of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission have power and authority to inspect, inquire, and investigate all property, records, books, papers, accounts, and documents, of any public utility, whenever necessary, in carrying out their duties.
6. Pursuant to 66 Pa.C.S. § 1103, the Commission is responsible for ensuring that public utilities hold certificates of public convenience for the convenience, safety, accommodation and service of the public. Pursuant to 52 Pa. Code § 41.14(b), the Commission may withhold granting a carrier authority to operate if it is demonstrated that the carrier lacks a propensity to operate safely and legally. Respondent has demonstrated and convinced the Bureau of Transportation and Safety that it should not have the right to continue as a public utility. Therefore, for the safety of the public, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Motor Carrier Services and Enforcement's Prosecutory staff's proposed civil penalty for this violation is the cancellation of Respondent's Certificate.
Wherefore, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby requests that the Commission revoke United Taxi Company certificate of public convenience at A-00123614 for the illegal activity described in this complaint and order such other remedy as the Commission may deem to be appropriate.

3. That Respondent was advised by letter dated May 10, 2005, that its medallion authority was being transferred to the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
