D.C. Council leaders are trying to work out the role they will play as the District prepares to chart the specifics of its switch to taxicab meters.

Mayor Adrian Fenty made the call Wednesday to ditch the District’s ages-old zone system for the time-and-distance meters used in every other major U.S. city. He left it to the D.C. Taxicab Commission to decide the timeline, the fares and the required equipment, among other details, but he made no mention of the legislative branch.
