Our Story.Today’s TAA has its roots in the Victorian Hire Car and Taxi industry. As pressures were put on the industry by the illegal operations of Uber, and as the Government tried and failed to adequately address these issues, the forerunner of TAA, the VHCA, was reinvigorated by Rod Barton and André Baruch.
Over the ensuing years TAA has grown to represent hire cars, taxis and every participant in the commercial passenger transportation industry. TAA was successful in setting up a political party – Transport Matters Party, and were successful at getting Rod Barton elected as an MP representing the Eastern Metropolitan Region in the Victorian Legislative Council. Today TAA is a cohesive national network advocating for the betterment of the Australian commercial passenger transport sector. |
