Hayakawa Drops Taxicab Rule Amid Transit Bill Debate

Senator Hayakawa withdrew a proposed amendment from a mass transit authorization bill that would have cut funding to California cities including Los Angeles and San Francisco. He argued relaxation of taxi regulations would hurt minorities and the economically disadvantaged, citing high medallion costs in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Senate passed the bill by voice vote without the amendment, while Hayakawa urged minority employment opportunities in transportation.

Senate OKs 5.3 Billion for City State Transit Programs

The Senate approved 5.3 billion dollars in new funds to help cities and states pay for urban mass transit projects including bus and rail systems. The measure, opposed by the administration, moves to the House as it also votes on a 1978 Transportation Department budget. Additional provisions include 135 thousand for motorcycle safety and 8 million for the Alaskan Railroad.
