The International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) is a group made up of professionals representing the world’s most active governmental regulators of taxicabs and for-hire vehicles, and the industries that support them. At its heart, the IATR is devoted to educating the public and the business community about effective transportation regulation, and how it is essential to keeping our communities safe and moving!


IATR - Who we are...

Police Departments and other law enforcement agencies with responsibility for taxis

State and federal agencies responsible for limousines and other motor carriers, where there are cross-jurisdictional issues
