Notice of Rescheduling of Sales of Wheelchair Accessible Taxicab Medallions

To All Interested Parties:

On July 9, 2016, notice was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin (46 Pa.B. 3776) of the Philadelphia Parking Authority’s Board Order No. 16-001 (“Authority Order”) directing the Taxicab and Limousine Division (“TLD”) to administer the sale of 41 Philadelphia taxicab medallions, each of which are designated as wheelchair accessible vehicle (“WAV”) taxicab medallions (Download Authority Order No. 16-001).  This notice included the date, time and location of the bid openings for each of these WAV medallions.

However, pursuant to the Authority Order under Paragraph No. 10, TLD Director Michael Casey exercised his discretion to remove certain medallions from the scheduled bid opening dates as follows: October 5, 2016, October 12, 2016, October 26, 2016 and November 16, 2016. Additionally, there was a lack of participation of responsive bids for certain WAV medallions scheduled to be sold on November 2, 2016 and November 10, 2016. The TLD Director has rescheduled those sales pursuant to Paragraphs Nos. 12 and 13. Therefore, an updated schedule is as follows:
