To: San Francisco Taxi Medallion Holders and Color Schemes
In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the San Francisco Taxi industry, I have approved an additional temporary extension of the modified insurance requirements
for San Francisco taxis.
These changes are in effect for an additional twelve-month period, commencing on July 1, 2021 and ending on June 30, 2022, and will be reviewed at the end of the period for possible continuation or termination. SFMTA reserves the right to modify the insurance requirements at any point during the 2021-2022 fiscal year with a 30 days' notice.
Insurance Policies must still include the Paratransit Broker and the City as additional insureds. Policies must also acknowledge the contractual obligation of the insured to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the Broker and City. All other insurance requirements remain in effect, including Insurance Ratings of your carrier.
Approval Process
Before lowering your insurance coverage amount, your policy must be approved. To get it approved, you must submit your proof of insurance by email to both:
Sarah Hellman, Regulated Mobility Permit Manager [email protected].
Danny Yeung, Principal Regulated Mobility Analyst [email protected].
