The City of Red Deer says they’ll hold a taxi plate draw on Wednesday, June 3, where it will award 21 taxi plates.

This is because the city adopted a vehicle-for-hire bylaw on May 27, 2024, which included an increase of 15 taxi plates per year for three years.

The city says six plates returned from the 2025 draw, which will be added on top of the 15 available plates for this year that will be awarded through a random draw.

Eligible applicants must meet the criteria to hold a taxi license plate, including having a plan to open a brokerage or operate as an independent driver-owner.
