Philadelphia Taxi - September Fuel Surcharge

On April 23, 2012 the Board of the Philadelphia Parking Authority, at its scheduled April meeting approved a measure implementing a fuel surcharge system for all Philadelphia Taxicabs and Airport Transfer Services, (a category of limousine service largely provided in vans).
The surcharge system allows for the fuel surcharge to change monthly based on fluctuating gas prices as described in a chart posted with the Board Resolution of April 23rd elsewhere on this page.
As required in the 4/23/12 Resolution, the average price per gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline must be evaluated each month, the corresponding surcharge determined and then posted on the Taxicab and Limousine page of the Authority’s website on the third Friday of that month for the following month.
Accordingly, based upon an average price per gallon of regular gasoline at $3.73,
the fuel surcharge for September 1 through September 30, 2012 is as follows:
For Taxicabs – $1.10 per trip.
For Airport Transfer Services (as described above) – $2.45 per passenger.
