Coop Taxi Laval

What Coop Taxi Laval does

Coop Taxi Laval (legal name Coop des propriétaires de taxi de Laval) is a driver-member cooperative founded in 1972 and headquartered at 4405 boul. St-Martin Ouest, Laval, Quebec. The company operates a fleet of more than 210 vehicles — including 10 adapted vans for wheelchair-accessible and medical transport and, since November 2018, 28 fully electric units (Tesla models included) that gave Laval the largest proportion of fully electric taxis in Quebec and Canada (>13%). Service lines span regular taxi transport, adapted and medical transport, contracted school transport, airport and train station transfers, an electric taxi service with in-vehicle WiFi, and ancillary offerings (jump starts, lockouts, fuel delivery, tire changes, courier/messenger, bike taxi, and sightseeing tours).

The business model is transaction-based: per-trip fares for individual riders and contracted service agreements for institutional clients including Hôpital de Laval, Commissions scolaires lavaloises, Société de transport de Laval (STL), SAAQ, Centres de jour de Laval, and the Orchestre Symphonique de Laval. Customers access service through 24/7 telephone operators, the company website (taxilaval.com), an online reservation portal (reservation.taxilaval.com), and a mobile app. Underlying technology includes an automatic dispatch system (the company was the first Quebec taxi operator to deploy this for adapted transport) and a dedicated EV charging network of 30 stations (including 5 fast chargers) built in partnership with Hydro-Québec and Ville de Laval. A $3.4M+ electrification project, partly funded by a $1.6M grant from MTMDET's Green Fund and up to $300K from Ville de Laval, also installed in-vehicle data collection to monitor battery performance and customer/driver satisfaction over a three-year evaluation.

Others

• Hydro-Québec (EV Infrastructure Partner): Strategic infrastructure partner providing charging stations and EV expertise for Coop Taxi Laval's electrification project. Comparable as an ecosystem enabler rather than a competitor.

Direct peers

• Co-op Taxi (Winnipeg): Driver-owned taxi cooperative in Winnipeg with a similar member-ownership governance model. Provides structural and operational comparability for cooperative economics and dispatch.
• Teo Taxi: Quebec taxi operator with a strong focus on eco-responsible service including hybrid and electric vehicles. Highly comparable given overlapping territory and shared commitment to sustainable taxi operations.
• Taxi Diamond: Major Montreal taxi company offering a comparable suite of taxi, adapted transport, and airport transfer services. Direct competitor for cross-border trips between Laval and Montreal.
• Taxi Coop Montréal (Taxelco): Montreal-based taxi cooperative operating a similar owner-driver member model with a large fleet and app-based dispatch. Closest direct comparable by structure, geography (Greater Montreal), and service mix.

Regional players

• Beck Taxi: Largest taxi operator in the Greater Toronto Area, providing comparable on-demand, airport, and accessible transport services. Useful benchmark for cooperative-style taxi scale outside Quebec.
• CAA Taxi / Drivezy: Canadian taxi and chauffeur services operator active in multiple provinces. Comparable on airport transfers, corporate accounts, and adapted transport offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Uber Canada: Dominant rideshare platform operating across Canadian cities including Greater Montreal. Competes for the same on-demand urban passenger trips with a fundamentally different asset-light model.
• Lyft: Global rideshare platform with North American operations that competes directly with traditional taxis for urban passenger demand in major Canadian markets.

Emerging players

• NEMT Providers (e.g., Dignity Transportation, Bravo Medical): Specialized non-emergency medical transport operators across Canada. Comparable on wheelchair-accessible transport, hospital contracts, and recurring B2B revenue models that Coop Taxi Laval serves.
