Abstract

This project focused on the issue of taxi customer service in Montgomery County, MD. Through background research, regulator and company interviews, and analyzation of data, we identified a set of issues with a proposed customer service regulation. We developed a set of recommendations for the County that included suggested modifications to the customer service regulation, alternative methods for the collection of regulation data, a County-sponsored driver-training program, and funding options.
