§ 57B01. Legislative findings. The General Assembly finds and declares as follows: (1) The health, safety and general welfare of the people of this Commonwealth are directly dependent upon the continual encouragement, development, growth and expansion of business, industry, commerce and tourism.  (2) Unemployment, the spread of poverty and the heavy burden of public assistance and unemployment compensation can be avoided by the promotion, attraction, stimulation, development and expansion of business, industry, commerce and tourism in this Commonwealth through the development of a clean, safe, reliable and well-regulated taxicab and limousine industry.  (3) Parking authorities in cities of the first class are charged with regulating taxicab service and limousine service and must ensure that regulations governing the taxicab and limousine industries keep pace with changes in the industry.  (4) Regulations governing the taxicab and limousine industries in cities of the first class should recognize technological developments that are changing the transportation marketplace, encouraging competition and innovation.  (5) With the entry of transportation network companies that compete against taxicabs and limousines, it is necessary for parking authorities to modernize their regulations to promote a level playing field for all transportation service providers.
