Official:Amending Section 9-407 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Tour Passenger Carriers," to provide for tour passenger loading zones in certain locations and in certain numbers, all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember DiCicco
Introduced: April 28, 2011
: Committee on Streets and Services
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2008–2011 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill allows tour buses to load passengers at specific locations in Philadelphia, such as on Sixth Street between Market and Ranstead Streets, under certain conditions.
