New Taxi Service Regulations at the UWI Mona Campus - Effective August 13, 2007
Rationale for New Taxi Policy
There is strong sentiment among the Mona Campus community to restrict taxis from using the Ring Road and generally control their activities on the rest of the Campus because of the lack of discipline currently demonstrated by these drivers. The problems are not only related to licensed taxis but also to private vehicles operating as 'robot taxis'. Currently, Campus Security deals with these problems on an ad hoc basis by identifying offending vehicles and refusing to allow them access to the Campus. This method has not been successful because in many instances the drivers do not own the vehicles identified by Campus Security and therefore find their way back on the Campus using other
vehicles to carry out their illegal activities.
The University of the West Indies Mona wishes to advise that in accordance with the Mona Campus Security Act 2002, Finance and General Purposes Committee, Mona has agreed that measures should be implemented to streamline and control taxi service on the Campus, and that effective August 13, 2007:
