Sea-Tac Taxi COrporation

July 11,2016

Mark Gjurasic and I represent the SeaTac Taxi Corporation (STC) which is made up ofthe 2] 8
independent taxicab owners/operators who operate their own vehicles at SeaTac airport under the
current ground transportation contract.

The Port Must Ensure that Taxis Remain  uali  Famil Wa 0 Jobs for O erators
The Port has made clear that it is a priority to ensure that taxi owners/operators at SeaTac Airport
are able to provide for their families and make a reasonable living. Every dollar that the Port of
Seattle and the winning RFP bidder collect from this ground transportation contract must come
from drivers.

FACTS:
1. All monies under this contract will come from Drivers
2. Taxi trips down more than 15% from expected numbers for May 2016*
3. Uber's took 41.0% of all trips from the airport in May 2016 (51,438
Uber trips, 73,952 Taxi trips)

GIVEN THESE FACTS, HOW CAN DRIVERS MAKE A LIVING WAGE WHEN THE RFP
PROMISEDI
1.  Increased trip fees and "relatively high" initial trip fees to the Port
2. Adding 20% more cars at the airport
3. Increased DiSpatch Fees (we believe by around 5% over current)

Taxi cab drivers will NOT be able to make a livable family wage at SeaTac
Airport under the increased costs in the RFP.

' Prior
to Uber beginning work at the Airport, Taxi ridership was increasing in 20 l 6 at an average trend of7.0%

over the same months in the previous year. Applying a 7.0% increase to May 2OI5 numbers would predict that May
20I6 taxi trips would be 87,053 (81,358 trips in May 2015 x 7% increase ' 87,053 expected taxi trips). What we
actually saw was 73,952 taxi trips which is a reduction of l5% from May 20] 5 to May 20I6.
