DRIVER TOOK WRONG ROUTE

070210KS- RP called on behalf of his companion who rode in cab # 731, from 24/7 Yellow Cab, on 061010. According to the RP, the companion was picked up around 1940 at the Irvine Station and asked the driver to take him to his home. RP states the driver went the wrong way and the customer ended up having to pay $20 plus a $3 tip for what should have been a 1.9 mile drive. According to the RP, the driver forced the companion to pay the tip since he said that that the minimum amount was $3.00 even though the companion only wanted to pay $1.00. The caller was frustrated that this happened since he feels 1.9 miles is not worth $23.00 for the ride. According to the RP, the caller tried to contact the driver directly and eventually found (and rode with) the driver, but when the caller confronted the driver and asked the driver for his information the driver said "f*** you" to the caller. At this point the caller decided to call the taxi company (1-888-247-TAXI) where he spoke to a representative named Angie. He states, the representative told him that a supervisor named Irene spoke to the driver about the issue and he claimed he did not remember this incident. RP said that Angie informed him they would pay back $9.00 to the caller for the incident. The caller did not like how the situation was handled since the driver did remember the incident when the companion rode with the same driver the second time. The caller wants something done with this driver since the companion was scared when he rode with this driver.

070610KS- The caller was able to obtain the taxi number which is #731 as well as the license plate number which is 8M53814. Kasey spoke with Konstantinos on 070210, the driver of cab #731 was DP # 2469.

070610KS- Betty from OCTA spoke with the companion on 061810. According to him, he spoke with 24/7 Yellow Cab and was told that the driver is an independent agent and there is nothing they can do. He strongly feels that OCTA regulates the taxis because of the emblem on the taxi and should be concerned that the taxi driver is not taking the most direct route from Point A to Point B and is rude to the customer. Betty explained OCTA is involved in the licensing of the driver. He wants a clearer explanation on OCTA's role with the taxi drivers.

070710RG-I asked Konstantinos Roditis to investigate and forward his results to OCTAP. I received an email from 24/7 Yellow Cab on this date. The following is taken directly from the email:

"I have talked to Angela Roditis regarding this matter and we are satisfied with our investigation. The customer stated that he was overcharged and we refunded $9.00 back to the customer. Approximately a week later this customer verbally harassed our driver at the Irvine Train Station and reached into the vehicle to try and steal our driver’s OCTAP permit. He then called our dispatch office and verbally harassed our dispatcher. We take complaints from customers seriously and without proof we refunded the customer back $9.00 because he stated that is how much he was overcharged. If he was overcharged or the driver didn’t take the most direct route then this issue has been remedied by the refunding of the $9.00. Above the refund, we will not take any further action. We consider this matter closed and we have nothing further to add to this investigation". The mailed was digitally signed as: Konstantinos Roditis, President/CEO.

Konstantinos Roditis stated that Irene Roditis, 24/7 Yellow Cab Manager, handled the incident with the driver. Mr. Roditis did state that the refund of $9 was accepted by RP, which indicates resolution was reached. Mr. Roditis also stated that the driver was counseled concerning the OCTAP Regulations Section 9.1 and that the most direct and accesible route must be used at all times when transporting passengers.

No further action is required at this time. Incident closed.

A TAXI CAB #645 OVERCHARGED PASSENGER

012907RG-Taken from RP's statement:

"At 3:55pm, I call 1-800-4MY-TAXI to request a pickup at Waters Restaurant, 4615 Barranca, Irvine, CA. At approximately 4:05 pm, a cab arrived. The driver complained that he had been pulled from the airport. Upon arrival at my home (address above) the meter read $4.95. I handed the driver a $20 bill and asked for $12 change. He (the driver) then stated "We have an $8 minimum, you can have $10 back) and would only give me a $10 bill. Rather than cause a scene, I noted that the cab number was 645.

I assumed that since I often use this company for airport travel, contacting them would rectifiy the situation. When I called, I asked to speak to a supervisor, and after five minutes on hold was told there was no supervisor working, and if I had a complaint, they would call me back tomorrow, before 8 am, and would not be available after that time. When I stated that I would rather work with them than contact the county authority, I was told "Contact whoever you want, there's no one here for you to talk to". - End of RP statement.

To A Taxi Management: Please forward the permit number for the driver to this office. The only description given by the RP is that he is male and foreign.The reporting party does want resolution.

DP #186 also stated that he was going to organize a "protest", of sorts, and bring 50 or 60 of his buddies, with their vehicles, to the OCTAP office. I tried to explain to DP #186 that any reports and paperwork may be available for him to view, at the Administrator's descretion, at the Administrative Hearing. DP #186 began to accuse me personally of suspending his permit. The phone conversation became redundant and unreasonable; to the point where I had to inform DP #186 that I would not discuss this with him any further and again reminded DP #186 of the date/time/location of the hearing.

041708RG-Received response from A Taxi Cab, as follows:

"RE: DP #186 OCTAP # 186 / Background Information on Complaint - OCTAP - DP #186 #186. To Whom It May Concern: About a month ago, our lease driver DP #186 approached me with a complaint about hotel staff at the Disney Grand California. He explained that certain staff at the hotel and another driver were "ganging" up on him to keep him from servicing the hotel. He indicated that they were trying to kick him out from the hotel. I called the hotel myself and asked for the Guest Services Manager. I asked if there were any problems with our drivers and he did not indicate any major or ongoing issues. I asked if there was anyone that had been banned from the hotel and he did not indicate so. I then called DP #186 and informed him of the results. DP #186 was concerned that his reputation was being affected and wanted to confirm whether or not he had been banned from the hotel. This was about a month ago. At that time, either shortly before my action or shortly after my action, I asked our public relations representative, John Boyland, to investigate and follow-up. Mr. Boyland mentioned that he met with the Guest Services Manager. Mr. Boyland indicated he did not receive any mention of DP #186 at all during that visit. Mr. Boyland can be contacted at (714)276-5755. I then received the OCTAP complaint dated 4-15-2008. I have been on vacation since April 4 - 14, 2008 and just returned on this day. My understanding is that Jim Carlson or another manager handled the initial complaint. I have opened our official investigation as of this day. DP #186 denies that he exhibited the behavior and/or was misinterpreted in the OCTAP complaint and disagrees with the suspension of his permit. - William Gray - A White and Yellow Cab Inc.

Also sent Mr. Forester said documents via certified mail, #7003 2260 0003 5051 7012.

061008RG-Called the Grand California Hotel and talked with Mr. Adam Burt. I asked if I could meet with him to discuss his report, but he stated that he would not have time and asked if I could discuss his statement over the phone. I agreed. I first read his statement back to him (word for word) and asked him to verify the truthfulness of the statement. Mr. Burt stated that the statement was accurate. I asked Mr. Burt if he would be willing to show at the appeals hearing on Thursday, June 12, 2008 to give his statement in person. Mr. Burt stated that he could not miss work to attend the hearing. I did encourage him to attend and stated that we might try and call again sometime today. As to his statement, I asked Mr. Burt if he felt threatened by DP #186's actions on April 2, 2008. Mr. Burt stated that he didn't necessarily feel threatened, even though DP #186 did verbally threaten him. Mr. Burt also stated that there are numerous occasions where he has seen DP #186 and that DP #186 will try and intimidate Mr. Burt and other cast members. Mr. Burt stated that he does not get intimidated by DP #186 even though DP #186 attempts to do so. The phone call between myself and Mr. Burt was approximately five (5) minutes long. I felt completely satisfied that the hand-written statement given by Mr. Burt on April 2, 2008 was accurate and truthful. Mr. Burt did not seem to have the time or the inclination to fabricate any portion of the information contained in his statement.

061008RG-Called the Grand California Hotel to speak with Braulio Cruz; spoke with Greg (cast member). Greg stated that Mr. Braulio Cruz is off until Friday. I asked Greg if he could take my name and phone number and contact Mr. Cruz and ask him to give us a call. Greg stated that he would.

061008RG/JG-Spoke with Mr. Jose-Ignacio Obando (714-956-6555, Security Lead for Grand California Hotel). Mr. Obando interviewed Mr. Adam Burt and Mr. Braulio Cruz (cast members, Grand California Hotel) concerning the incident on April 2, 2008 (DP #186) at the Grand California Hotel in the Anaheim/Disney Resort Area. Mr. Obando stated that he normally gets called to respond to Out of Control/Emergency situations only; and is responsible to document an incident where someone feels their life is or has been threatened. Mr. Obando stated that DP #186 was using an angry, combative tone and that Mr. Adam Burt felt threatened by DP #186's behavior. Mr. Obando stated that DP #186 continually wants to do things his way and does not want to adhere to, or comply with, property (resort) policies. Mr. Obando stated that Wolde drove away cursing and threatening at a very high tone. Mr. Obando drafted the Security and Emergency Services Security Report (on file).

Mr. Obando was asked about trespass warnings. Mr. Obando stated that trespass warnings are given to individuals whom have become out of control, abrasive, refusing to leave, etc. DP #186 was again given a tresspass warning on April 2, 2008 and informed that if he did not leave, Anaheim PD would be called and that he would be arrested. Also, Mr. Obando stated that if an individual returns after being issued a tresspass warning, they may call police to have that individual removed from resort property and/or arrested. Mr. Obando also stated that when a tresspass warning is given to a taxicab driver, that the taxicab company, at the security lead's descretion, may be contacted and informed that the driver is not welcomed back onto hotel/resort property. This recent tresspass warning given to DP #186 was due to multiple incidents/occasions of refusing to adhere to property/resort policies. Mr. Obando stated that if DP #186 returns, that he would be asked to leave.

Mr. Obando stated that after the incident was over and after his investigation, he confirmed and was confident that the statements given by Mr. Adam Burt and Mr. Braulio Cruz were true and accurate. OCTAP feels that after discussing the incident with Mr. Obando, that the official security report made for the incident on April 2, 2008 (concerning DP #186) at the Grand California Hotel is true and accurate.

061208RG (0900 hrs)RG/JG-Spoke with Mr. Cruz Braulio (via phone call). OCTAP (RG/JG) asked Mr. Braulio to verify the truthfulness and accuracy of his handwritten statement conatined in the Security and Emergency Services Security Report. Mr. Braulio gave us his explanation of the incident concerning DP #186 on April 2, 2008 at the Grand California Hotel in Anaheim. Mr. Braulio's statement of events which occurred on that day completely concur with his handwritten statement contained in the report and received at OCTAP on April 11, 2008.

We (JG/RG) were completely satisfied that the account given (both his handwritten statement and per phone call) of the incident concerning DP #186 on April 2, 2008 at the Grand California Hotel is true and accurate.

061208RG-The decision of the appeals panel is as follows:

"The hearing panel unanimously agreed with the OCTAP cause for the revocation of appellant’s OCTAP Driver Permit. The decision of the hearing panel is that appellant’s OCTAP Driver Permit shall be suspended for a period of six (6) months from the date of the hearing.

071608RG-The decision of the OCTAP Administrator was to reduce the suspension period to four (4) months; with the start date of the suspension as April 16, 2008 rather than June 12, 2008.

030410RG-Driver came into the OCTAP office to pick up his Suspension letter and his notice of Administrative Hearing. Driver's Administrative Hearing is scheduled for Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 0845 am.

030510RG-Received traffic report from Irvine PD. The collission report stated the following: After leaving the scene of the accident, DP #4230 was contacted and eventually escorted back to the scene by an Irvine Police Officer. In the Traffic Collision Report, the driver acknowledged knowing that he had initially impacted another vehicle and also acknowledged that he knew the requirements for the mandatory exchange of information after a traffic collision. In summary, DP #4230 knew that he had collided with another vehicle, that he must stop to exchange information, but chose rather to ignore the mandatory requirements, proceeding to pick up a fare instead. DP #4230 proceeded back to the scene only after being directed to do so by his company and by the Irvine Police Department. The traffic collission report stated and recommended that due to the driver’s actions, that DP #4230 be charged with VC 20002(A)-Hit and Run.

031810RG-The results of the Administrative Hearing is as follows:

1. Driver Permit will remain suspended pending the District Attorney’s decision to file charges.

2(a). If no charges are filed, OCTAP will reissue Driver Permit (if not expired) with the applicable replacement fee, along with the issuance of a warning notice and a $100 fine.

(2) If found not guilty, OCTAP will reissue Driver Permit (if not expired) with the applicable replacement fee, along with the issuance of a warning notice and a $100 fine.

041310RG-I Spoke with Officer Ostrowski this afternoon. Officer Ostrowski stated that he received a notice from the District Attorney stating that he would not file charges against DP #4230due to the fact that the woman could not positively identify the driver upon his return to the scene; even though positive identification on the vehicle itself could be made. Officer Ostrowski is going to contact the DA sometime tommorrow or Thursday to find out if anything can be done to justify filing charges, and he (Officer Ostrowski) will notify OCTAP of the outcome no later than Thursday Afternoon or Friday morning. Also, I performed a case search on DP #4230 on the OC Superior Court website, with no results concerning this case.

041410RG-Email received from Officer Ostrowski:"Regarding the case of Hit and Run for DP #4230, the Orange County District Attorneys Office is choosing not file the hit and run charges. The witness/victim inability to identify DP #4230 as the other driver, and the fact that DP #4230 returned to the Irvine Police Dept after he was contacted by his dispatch is the reason for not filing. They do not feel comfortable with the case if it went to court so they are choosing not to file. I attempted to persuade the DA due to the fact DP #4230 is a professional driver and knows he has to exchange information per OCTAP regulations as well as the fact he left so he could pick up a fair putting his financial gain ahead of his responsibility to exchange information with the vehicle he hit. That being said the DA is still choosing not to file. If you have any questions fell free to contact me. Ofc. Christopher Ostrowski/282, Irvine Police Dept, 949-724-7000"

Per Patrick Sampson, we will allow the driver to renew his permit and will will issue driver a Notice of Violation with a $100 fine. Driver must pay fine before his renewal permit is issued.

DP#4476 ISSUED NOV #10-037 WITH $100 FINE; UNPERMITTED DRIVER

The OCTAP Regulations Section 6.7 states that each Driver Permit issued by OCTAP shall be valid only for the Driver to operate a Taxicab for the Permittee indicated on the Driver Permit. No Driver may operate a Taxicab for a Company other than the Company listed on the Driver's Driver Permit.

The OCTAP Regulations Section 6.15 states that In lieu of revocation, the OCTAP Administrator may impose a penalty in the form of a fine, a period of suspension, or both a fine and a period of suspension. OCTAP Received notification from A Taxi Cab that on October 31, 2010, driver allowed operation of his taxicab by a Driver (DP #3344, who is not permitted or affiliated with A Taxi Cab. This action jeopardized the health, welfare, and safety of the public and was in violation of driver's company’s vehicle leasing policy and a violation of the OCTAP Regulations 6.14.1.

As a result, driver was issued a Notice of Violation #10-037 with a $100 fine. Driver mailed the Notice of Violation: 1) regular mail 2) certified #7004 2510 0002 8760 9645. Driver must pay fine before a reinstatement, transfer, or renewal permit can be issued.

MAY 2011 - DP #2666 REVOKED FOR ALLOWING OP OF HIS CAB AND ALTERED DP

050311RG-OCTAP received a report from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) that on April 27, 2011 at approximately 0630 hours, A Taxi Cab #806 was stopped for a random inspection, by an OCSD Officer, at the John Wayne Airport during the JWA Enforcement Operation. The report indicates that the cab was being driven by a DP #2666, who has not applied for nor has been issued an OCTAP Driver Permit. The OCSD Report indicates that DP #2666 was in possession of Driver Permit #2666 and that the permit had been altered that would falsely identify DP #2666 as an OCTAP permitted driver. DP #2666 stated to the officer that he is driver's brother and that he drives his taxi on Alfredo's days off so he can make extra money. Also, A Taxi Cab confirmed that cab #806 was leased to Alfredo on April 27, 2011 and that the lease agreement did not allow for additional drivers.

Driver's actions to allow operation of his taxi cab by an individual who does not possess an OCTAP Driver Permit, has not been cleared with the Department of Justice and local municipalities, is not subject to random drug and alcohol testing, and has not been approved by his company’s insurance carrier caused an undue risk to the health, welfare, and safety of the public. As a result, OCTAP Driver Permit #2666 is hereby REVOKED.

The driver was given instructions by Anaheim PD Officer(s), but would not comply with their requests. The driver became argumentative and defient. Iain Fairweather, OCTAP Administrator, instructed OCTAP Staff to issue The driver a Notice of Violation for non-cooperation. The driver signed the Notice of Violation #10345.

012208RG-Mr. Baday came to the OCTAP Office to get an appeals form.

Reason: When the Notice of Violation #10345 was issued to the drivery, it was indicated that the driver was in violation of Section 5.10.6, with a $250 fine. This Section of the OCTAP Regulations is to be used for company violations, not driver.

042808RG-The hearing panel unanimously agreed with the OCTAP cause for the Issuance of the Notice of Violation #10392. However, due to the fact that only hearsay evidence was presented (by OCTAP) with no supportive witnesses in attendance, the panel’s decision was to uphold the appeal by the driver. The Notice of Violation #10392 is hereby dismissed/canceled. The Hearing Panel did want to remind the driver to cooperate at all times with OCTAP inspectors, Agency peace officers, and/or Agency code enforcement officials per the OCTAP Regulations Section 7.3.1; as follows: In addition to the initial and annual Taxicab inspection, all Taxicabs operated under OCTAP authority shall submit to on the road or random inspections by OCTAP inspectors or Agency peace officers or Agency code enforcement officials when so requested.

COMPLAINED ABOUT INSPECTION RESULTS

042909RG-DP# 726 brought in vehicle #714 for annual inspection. I found multiple minor items that would require a reinspection. I respectfully advised DP# 726 that his vehicle would require a reinspection and he became very angry. At first he refused to sign the inspection sheet, but did so when I indicated that I would be removing the Vehicle Permit. I explained to DP# 726 that his inspection was performed fairly and that any vehicle which has more than three minor defects listed is required to be reinspected, per OCTAP policy. I pointed out the defects I found and he was refuting everything that I was saying; so I stopped the conversation and wished him a good day. DP# 726 began to speak about other companies that don’t have insurance, etc. DP# 726 then followed me into the OCTAP office to file a complaint. I asked Elizabeth to give DP# 726 a complaint form. DP# 726 then said that he wanted a number to OCTA but that he did not want the Administrator's (Iain's) number. DP# 726 also stated that he was going to go to the paper and he was also accusing me of not being fair and that I just wanted the money. DP# 726 attempted to be intimidating and his accusations were unfounded, saying that I was "picking on him". Honestly, I did not want to find the defects that I did (that would require a reinspection) because I knew that it would cause this type of situation; but I did not feel that I could compromise my inspection standards to avoid a confrontation. Incident for information only. Closed.

REVOKED FOR INCIDENT AT JWA-CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES

111810RG-Driver Permit REVOKED on this date. Reason: OCTAP received a report from a John Wayne Airport Officer concerning an incident that took place on November 1, 2010, at the John Wayne Airport, when driver was stopped for a random inspection while operating CABCO #746. The report states that the driver was questioned and issued a citation for Health & Safety 11357(b)-Possession of Marijuana Less Than an Ounce. The report indicated that the marijuana was found in his possession and that the driver admitted use (smokes when he is depressed).

Sent driver two REVOCATION letters along with the required appeals hearing request and procedures: 1) regular mail 2) certified #7004 2510 0002 8760 9324. Driver has 10 days in which to appeal. Also, driver was dropped from his company (CABCO) on 110910. No REVOCATION letters to the company were sent due to his prior termination.

122910RG-Driver did not appeal revocation. Final revocation letters were sent to the driver: 1) regular mail 2) certified #7004 2510 0002 8760 7832.

123010RG- DP #371 called last week and I spoke with him and he also called back yesterday and spoke with Jo-Ann. The driver stated that he went to court and that the charges of marijuana possession were dismissed; and that he would like to get his permit back. However, we explained to the driver that he was revoked and that he did not appeal the revocation within the required ten (10) days. The final revocation letter was sent on 122910; but we attempted to explain to the driver that he missed his window for appeal and that the revocation process must be completed. Also, per the OCTAP Regulations Section 6.14.10, a driver who has had their permit revoked shall be prohibited from reapplying for a period of one year. When Jo-Ann asked why he didn’t appeal, the driver stated that he was told to wait until he goes to court. Both me and Jo-Ann answers were the same to him; that he missed his window for appeal and that the revocation process was to be completed. The driver was given Patrick's phone number and he would like to call and speak with Patrick when he comes back next week.

010311RG-Per Patrick's email sent 123110, driver will be afforded an admin hearing via phone. Reason: It is considered reasonable for the driver to want to wait until his court date to request an appeals hearing; it strengthens his position. Once the admin hearing is complete, OCTAP will uphold the revocation (in the interest of public safety, based on the fact that (1) drugs were involved and (2) it happened in a taxicab vehicle) and give the driver the opportunity to appeal.

010411RG-Driver has not yet called the Administrator (that I am aware of) for the admin hearing.

021811RG-In order to close the incident, I have administratively dropped the driver per CABCO's request on 110810. If driver does contact OCTAP for any reason, an administrative hearing will be performed and the final decision made by JG or PS as to the outcome. At this time, the incident will be closed and reopended at a later date, if necessary.

011812RG-Driver has been "pending" revocation for well over a year now; and no action has been taken by the driver to contact OCTAP so that we might hold the admin hearing. As of this date, I have set the driver's permit status to REVOKED due to the fact that the revocation letters, and final revocation letters, were sent and received by the driver. The driver may reapply at any time with a new livescan. If the driver does reapply, we will hold the admin hearing as decided by Patrick and Jo-Ann. Driver's file is with other red files.
