The Department for Transport published its statutory taxi and private hire vehicle standards in July 2020. The standards focus on establishing common core minimum standards across the taxi and private hire sector and aim to protect children and vulnerable adults. The Department for Transport expects all licensing authorities to implement these recommendations unless there are compelling local reasons not to.

The Department for Transport states that, in the interest of transparency, all licensing authorities should publish their consideration of the measures contained in statutory standards. This document is available to view and download from this page.
