Every vehicle, other than public transit vehicles or vehicles involved in an

any fare or compensation and used for the transportation of passengers over

taxicabs, vehicles for charter, jitneys, non -emergency medical vehicles and
sight-seeing vehicles.

Development Board. Notwithstanding the City's right to regulate paratransit vehicles
within its jurisdiction, the city council, by resolution currently in effect or as may be
adopted from time to time, has authorized a contract with the Metropolitan Transit
Development Board (MTDB) for the administration and enforcement by the MTDB of
regulations, policies and ordinances for paratransit or for -hire vehicles operated within the
