Dear Mr. AI -Imam:
Director
Lori Donchak
Director
As you may know, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has been
working with the Orange County City Managers Association (OCCMA) on the
Steve Jones
Director
continued operation of the Orange County Taxi Administration Program
Mark A. Murphy
(OCTAP). Enclosed along with this letter is an agreement for your agency to
Director
provide funding and an invoice for OCTAP services. Given that this issue is not
Richard Murphy
well known and invoicing for OCTAP is new, an explanation is provided that
Director
hopefully is useful.
At Murray
Director
Many may not realize that OCTA administers OCTAP on behalf of
Shawn Nelson
Orange County cities and the County of Orange. OCTAP was created in 1998 to
Director
consolidate the licensing, application and administrative functions to assist
Miguel do
Director
Director
Orange County cities in meeting their requirements set forth in Government Code
Section 53075.5 and Vehicle Code Section 21100, et seq. At that time, OCTA
Tim Shaw
Director
Iwas selected by the cities to provide staff and administrative services necessary
Todd Spitzer
to permit taxi operations and enforce OCTAP Regulations adopted by the cities
Director
and the County.
Michelle Steel
Director
Since its inception, OCTAP has been funded entirely though permit and license
Tom Tait
fees. However, with the arrival of Transportation Network Companies (TNCs)
Director
such as Uber, Lyft and others, the marketplace has greatly reduced the number
Gregory T. Winterbottom
of taxi permits in the county, which, in turn, has created a financially
Director
unsustainable condition for the continuation of OCTAP as currently funded.
Ryan Chamberlain
Ex -Officio Member
To address this issue, OCTA has been working through the OCCMA as well as
the OCTAP Steering Committee (which includes taxi providers as well as
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE
member agency representatives) since spring of 2016 to come up with both short -
Darrell Johnson
and long-term solutions.
Chief Executive Officer
The cost to administer OCTAP for fiscal year 2017-18 will exceed expected
revenues and OCTAP will only have enough funding to operate through
December 2017. In May of 2017, the OCCMA decided that it was in the best

City of San Juan Capistrano

interest for member agencies to fund the shortfall to allow for OCTA to administer
OCTAP at least through June 2018 while a long—term solution is identified. It is
expected that the amount needed to fully fund OCTAP operations beyond
December 31, 2017, through June 30, 2018 is approximately $166,800. The
estimated cost for each agency, based on population, is attached for your
reference.
It is widely believed that OCTAP is an effective model that delivers efficiencies
benefitting all member agencies. However, due to the changing marketplace with
taxis and TNCs, and the fact that OCTA has no legal requirement
to regulate taxis, further administration of OCTAP by OCTA beyond
June 30, 2018, may not be an option.
The future of OCTAP will be the focus of OCTA and OCCMA discussions over
the next six months. As always, local agency input is constructive and welcomed.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and please do not hesitate to contact
me at (714) 560-5570 or dsimpsonPocta_.net with any questions.
Sincerely,
r

WHEREAS, the Authority provides staff and administrative services necessary to implement the
OCTAP rules and regulations. The City retains all responsibility for taxicab regulation and enforcement
within its borders; and
WHEREAS, the Authority collects permit fees to offset the costs of administering the program.
