the vehicle cannot be mistaken by the public as an authorized Taxicab in <br />the jurisdiction of any member agency. <br />7.9.2. A Permittee must immediately surrender a Taxicab Permit to OCTAP if a <br />Taxicab has been removed from the required company insurance policy, if <br />the Taxicab Permit is otherwise suspended or revoked, or upon its <br />expiration. <br />8. TAXICAB INSPECTION STANDARDS <br />8.1. Minimum Standards. <br />The minimum Taxicab standards are those of the California Vehicle Code. All <br />Taxicabs shall meet all applicable standards of the California Vehicle Code as well as <br />the following in order to pass the OCTAP vehicle inspection. Certain equipment must <br />be present and fully functional as OEM (original equipment manufacture), as specified <br />in this section. Taxicabs must be maintained to these standards at all times. OCTAP <br />may administratively clarify and/or change the standards in the public interest. OCTAP <br />will utilize the vehicle inspection form included in these regulations. A copy of the <br />inspection form will be provided to the operators. This form will clearly delineate <br />conditions which: <br />• Meet OCTAP standards and are therefore acceptable; or <br />• Do not meet OCTAP standards and must be repaired/re-inspected to <br />OCTAP's approval prior to returning to revenue service (Major Items); or <br />• Do not meet OCTAP standards, but are sufficiently minor to allow the <br />vehicle to remain in service for up to ten (10) business days while repairs <br />are made and completion of the repairs is determined by an OCTAP re- <br />inspection (subject to a re-inspection fee) (Minor Items). <br />8.2. Body Condition. <br />8.2.1. No body damage, frame damage, tears or rust holes in the Taxicab body <br />and/or loose pieces hanging from the Taxicab body are permitted. Front <br />and rear fenders, bumpers, hood, trunk, and trim shall be securely fixed <br />and shall be in correct alignment to the Taxicab as OEM. Body damage <br />shall include any un-repaired dents, distortions, depressions, bulges, <br />tears, holes, or disfigurements. <br />8.2.2. The exterior of the Taxicab shall be maintained in a clean condition and <br />shall be free of unsightly dirt, tar, oil, and rust. <br />8.2.3. The Taxicab paint shall not be mismatched, faded, blistered, cracked, <br />chipped, peeled, or scratched. <br />Page 21 <br />652123.1 <br />
