# Chattanooga Passenger Vehicle Board Meeting - 09/24/2026


**Body:** Chattanooga City Council & City Boards
**Date:** September 23, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

**Tags:** Transportation, Regulatory Compliance


The Chattanooga Passenger Vehicle Board held a meeting on September 24, 2026, primarily addressing administrative matters related to passenger vehicle permits and inspections. The board approved new driver permits and renewals for taxi drivers, as well as updated vehicle inspections and insurance fees for several taxi companies including Mercury Cab. A significant discussion focused on the Uptown Taxi public hearing, where the board reviewed compliance with public notice requirements under local ordinance 35-48. Due to a previous lack of quorum and questions about proper public notification, the board voted to postpone the Uptown Taxi permit decision until the next meeting on October 1, 2026, to ensure proper public hearing procedures. No new contracts, budget allocations, or capital projects were discussed during this meeting.
