Taxi Operator Forum and Taxi Fleet Forum
The Taxi Operator Forum and Taxi Fleet Forum have been established to strengthen communication channels with the taxi industry.
These groups allow relevant taxi industry participants to effectively pass on information and concerns through to their representatives who can raise these matters with the Victorian Taxi Directorate (VTD).
Regular, two-way communication with taxi drivers is important to the Victorian Government, to gain feedback and help develop the policies and initiatives it is rolling out.
For further information about the forums, including future meeting dates, please contact the VTD on 1800 638 802 (toll-free).
Contact details of the forum members are listed below.
