Born from a 2022 partnership with an Indigenous-led safety committee, the initiative aims to rebuild trust and improve interactions, especially for riders who’ve long faced discrimination. Training videos, clear complaint protocols, and monthly committee meetings have slashed complaints. With these companies handling 90% of city rides, their efforts are reshaping public safety—and the committee now plans social media reporting tools and recruitment drives to empower Indigenous women drivers, pushing taxis as a safer alternative to ride-hailing apps. The mayor calls it exemplary, praising drivers as frontline community observers. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
