Metropolitan Transit System Codified Ordinance No. 11 shall govern this Chapter.
11.70.030 Regulatory administration by contract with Metropolitan Transit System.
Notwithstanding the City's right to regulate taxicabs and other for -hire 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 San Diego Metropolitan Transit System ("MTS") for the
administration and enforcement by MTS of regulations, policies and ordinances for taxicabs and
other for -hire vehicles operated within the city, including collection and administration of all
applicable regulatory fees, fines and forfeitures. While that contract is in effect, the applicable
regulations, policies and ordinances of MTS, including MTS Codified Ordinance No. 11, as now in
effect or as may be amended from time to time, shall govern the operation of taxicabs and other
