* GRAHAM TO HOLD PUBLIC ROUNDTABLE ON *

*MAYOR'S PROPOSED RULES FOR TAXICAB METERS *





*Washington**, DC**:*  Councilmember Jim Graham (D-Ward One) will hold a
public hearing next week on the Mayor's proposed rules on taxicab meters.



The roundtable will allow the public to comment on the Mayor's proposal for
taxicab fares and other regulations.  The Mayor chose to switch from zones
to meters on October 17.  A federal law required the Mayor to switch to
meters by that date, or opt out of the requirement altogether and keep the
current zone fare system.



"The roundtable will allow the public to weigh in on this important issue,"
said Councilmember Graham.
