Taxi Licensing
Dear Clark Township,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
I believe the municipal government handles the Taxi/livery licensing at the municipal level in New Jersey. I see a person putting out multiple AI ads a day and believe them to be putting public in danger. Before I log a formal complaint I would like to know
Is Local Rides Taxi Service licensed to operate in Clark?
Is Vincent Calabrese a licensed taxi driver?
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
Anonymous Resident
Dear Requestor:
Please be advised that the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA) provides access to identifiable government records. OPRA does not require a public agency to answer questions, conduct research, or create a record in response to a request for information.
Your submission asks whether Local Rides Taxi Service is licensed to operate within the Township of Clark and whether Vincent Calabrese is a licensed taxi driver. These inquiries seek answers to questions rather than identifying specific government records being requested.
Accordingly, please clarify your request by identifying the specific government record(s) you are seeking, such as a current taxi/livery license, taxi driver license, or other identifiable licensing record maintained by the Township.
Upon receipt of your clarification, the Township will review its records and respond in accordance with OPRA, including any applicable exemptions or required redactions.
Thank you,
Township of Clark
Clerk's Office
