In 1917, a small group of taxicab operators met in Washington, D.C. and formed the National Association of Taxicab Owners (NATO). NATO was born of the need to protect operators from the encroachment of the Federal government, which proposed to levy a 5% tax on the gross receipts of all companies operating three or more taxicabs.
The new association presented its views before Congress and the legislation was not adopted. Originally based in Chicago, NATO's first president was John Boobar, president of the Terminal Taxicab Company in Washington, DC. Another of the founding members was John Hertz, president of Yellow Cab in Chicago, who later founded Hertz Rent-a-Car.
