Why have we proposed minimum standards?
• Millions of trips are made in taxis and private hire vehicles in Greater Manchester each year.
• There are around 2,000 taxis and 14,000 private hire vehicles licensed by the ten Greater Manchester authorities.
• Concerns from trade, public and regulators about out of town licensed vehicles working across GM.
• Inconsistent licensing standards across the 10 Local Authorities

Why have we proposed minimum standards?
• We want to achieve a trade that is fit for purpose for the 21st century
• A trade that contributes to the GM vision for an improved integrated transport system
• Older licensed vehicles are contributing to the poor air quality across Greater Manchester

• Air pollution can seriously damage our health
Why have we proposed minimum standards?

introduce a Greater Manchester
Clean Air Zone from 2021.
• The most polluting taxis and
private hire vehicles would pay a
daily penalty to drive in.
