COOS BAY — Coos Bay’s star cabbie is getting recognized once again for his commitment to the community.

Yellow Cab Taxi general manager Jeremy Oliver was recognized for continued service by 2014-15 district governor of Southern Oregon Rotary Tim Mobley on Thursday morning.

Five years ago, Oliver launched the “Cabbies for Christmas” program. Local cab drivers gave $1 off cab fare for all riders who donated two nonperishable food items or an unopened child’s toy. The donations went to a local food bank and the toys went to the Women’s Safety and Resource Center.

For this, Oliver was named the 2013 Taxicab Driver of the Year by the Taxicab, Limousine and Paratransit Association.

His community involvement doesn’t stop there. He has volunteered for the Women’s Safety and Resource Center’s “Not So Amazing Race,” the Pennies for Polio fundraiser, and South Coast Head Start’s parent policy council. He is president of the Drivers Association; collects food, toys and cash for the Bus Jam; supports and participates in the Pink Ride, which contributes money to the women’s resource center in October from each taxi ride; and is part of the annual Highway Clean-up Program and Shots 4 Tots.

“I wasn’t going for someone noticing what I was doing,” Oliver said in a news release. “I was just doing what I thought I should do and someone noticed.”
