The Taxi Driver’s Checklist

The Taxi Driver’s Checklist is a two sided A4 sheet of tips and guidelines to ensure a safe and comfortable journey. The first subsection, ‘Are you prepared?’ targets the driver’s personal well-being: the taxi driver’s life and those of passengers and other road users depend on his/her alertness and reactions in an emergency situation. The second section ‘…and is everything else ready?’ is a checklist pertaining to the vehicle itself as well as to the passengers: are safety belts fastened, is everything in good working order, including taximeter etc, vehicle’s documentation and ways of identifying best routes? The third and final section includes safety tips for extra road safety.

Eco-driving safely for taxis

ECO-driving is not only an easy and cost-efficient way to reduce fuel consumption, greenhouse gases and accident rates, but is also an attitude showing respect for society as a whole. In order to help drivers adjust their driving behaviour according to different situations, the IRU has developed this checklist with smart, smooth and safe ECO-driving techniques aimed at taxi drivers.

Taxi Accessibility Checklist

Identifying a customer’s disability does not tell you anything about that person’s abilities. Customers with the same disability often need different types of assistance in order to travel independently. This checklist contains recommendations to taxi drivers to help them improve the quality of services offered to their customers and in particular to customers with disabilities and customers with reduced mobility.
