The Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (Metro) took over a taxi user-side subsidy program from the City of Seattle in December 1978, which was based on the sale of discounted taxicab scrip. Metro expanded the program, raised the discount, and conducted a marketing campaign, which all lead to greatly increased program registration and use. In the scrip program, participants may buy up to $2000 worth of scrip per year at discounts which vary between 40% and 60%. The scrip may be used for taxi rides on 26 participating taxicab companies and the companies turn in the scrip to Metro for reinbursement. Metro participated in a case study which would provide information about the program to planners, policy makers, and operators nationwide.
