the vehicle cannot be mistaken by the public as an authorized Taxicab in <br /> the jurisdiction of any member agency. <br /> 7.9.2. A Permittee must immediately surrender a Taxicab Permit to OCTAP if a <br /> Taxicab has been removed from the required company insurance policy, if <br /> the Taxicab Permit is otherwise suspended or revoked, or upon its <br /> expiration. <br /> 8. TAXICAB INSPECTION STANDARDS <br /> 8.1. Minimum Standards. <br /> The minimum Taxicab standards are those of the California Vehicle Code. All <br /> Taxicabs shall meet all applicable standards of the California Vehicle Code as well as <br /> the following in order to pass the OCTAP vehicle inspection. Certain equipment must <br /> be present and fully functional as OEM (original equipment manufacture), as specified <br /> in this section. Taxicabs must be maintained to these standards at all times. OCTAP <br /> may administratively clarify and/or change the standards in the public interest. OCTAP <br /> will utilize the vehicle inspection form included in these regulations. A copy of the <br /> inspection form will be provided to the operators. This form will clearly delineate <br /> conditions which: <br /> • Meet OCTAP standards and are therefore acceptable; or <br /> • Do not meet OCTAP standards and must be repaired/re-inspected to <br /> OCTAP's approval prior to returning to revenue service (Major Items); or <br /> • Do not meet OCTAP standards, but are sufficiently minor to allow the <br /> vehicle to remain in service for up to ten (10) business days while repairs <br /> are made and completion of the repairs is determined by an OCTAP re- <br /> inspection (subject to a re-inspection fee) (Minor Items). <br /> 8.2. Body Condition. <br /> 8.2.1. No body damage, frame damage, tears or rust holes in the Taxicab body <br /> and/or loose pieces hanging from the Taxicab body are permitted. Front <br /> and rear fenders, bumpers, hood, trunk, and trim shall be securely fixed <br /> and shall be in correct alignment to the Taxicab as OEM. Body damage <br /> shall include any un-repaired dents, distortions, depressions, bulges, <br /> tears, holes, or disfigurements. <br /> 8.2.2. The exterior of the Taxicab shall be maintained in a clean condition and <br /> shall be free of unsightly dirt, tar, oil, and rust. <br /> 8.2.3. The Taxicab paint shall not be mismatched, faded, blistered, cracked, <br /> chipped, peeled, or scratched. <br /> <br /> esai?; i Page 21 <br /> 55C-31 <br /> <br />
