1. In determining whether circumstances require the establishment of a system of allocations or a change in existing allocations, the Taxicab Authority shall consider the interests, welfare, convenience, necessity and well-being of the customers of taxicabs.
2. Whenever circumstances require the establishment of a system of allocations, the Taxicab Authority shall allocate the number of taxicabs among the certificate holders in the county in a manner which reflects the number of taxicabs operated by each certificate holder during the 5 years immediately preceding the date of establishment of the Taxicab Authority in the county.
3. Whenever circumstances require an increase in the existing allocations, the Taxicab Authority shall allocate the additional taxicabs equally among all the certificate holders who apply from the area to be affected by the allocation.
4. Unless a certificate holder puts the additionally allocated taxicabs into service within 30 days after the effective date of the increased allocation, the increased allocation to that certificate holder is void.

(a) Not limit the geographical area from which service is offered or provided.
(b) Limit the hours of service, but such a limitation must not reduce hours of service to less than 12 consecutive hours in a 24-hour period.
If a limitation is placed on an allocation, taxicabs must be marked in a distinctive manner that indicates the limitation.
6. The Taxicab Authority shall review annually:
(a) The existing allocation of taxicabs; and
(b) The rates, charges or fares of the certificate holders in its jurisdiction.
