Latest version.

  • (a)

    Excluding transportation network companies, the department shall furnish free of charge a decal which is to be affixed in the lower left-hand corner of the windshield, except animal-drawn carriages, and pedicabs, where the decal shall be affixed to a glass (plexiglass) plate 4" × 5" provided by the licensee. The plate shall be secured (easily removed) to the exterior of the carriage or pedicab as approved by the director. The decal shall indicate vehicle license number and type of license (taxi, limousine, accessible vehicle, tour vehicle, animal-drawn carriage or pedicab). When the vehicle is retired from service, the decal is to be removed and returned to the director or his designee. Operation of a public vehicle without the proper decal or failure to properly return a decal shall be cause for revocation. If a public vehicle license is transferred from vehicle to vehicle, in accordance with Section 407-93, a new license decal shall be furnished by the department subject to the above conditions.

    (b)

    It shall be unlawful to display public vehicle equipment and insignia on any vehicle other than a licensed vehicle.

    (c)

    In an accessible vehicle, the floor area of an allocated space must display the international symbol of accessibility, also known as the international wheelchair symbol, and be outlined in a flush contrasting strip 1 inch wide. Every accessible vehicle used for the transportation of wheelchair users shall display the international symbol of accessibility in a clearly visible position on the rear of the vehicle and on the front of the vehicle in a position other than on the windshield.
