The Ministry of Works and Transport invites all Private Hire (PH) Drivers to a special stakeholder consultation to discuss the efficient operation of the Taxi System in Trinidad and Tobago.

Taxis (hired cars) play an important role in the overall transportation system of Trinidad and Tobago.
Many citizens depend on this mode of travel to get to and from work, school and other places of interest that advance and enrich their lives.

To meet the demand for efficient transportation, there is always a need for a pool of qualified, safe, reliable, and honest drivers.

If you enjoy driving and are looking to expand your earning potential, becoming a licensed H Taxi Driver may be right for you!

This booklet provides an overview of everything you need to know to become road-ready as a legitimate Taxi Driver. It will help you understand the overall process, requirements and provide guidance to get registered.

(1) The validity of the Driver’s permits, taxi driver licences, badges, certificates or other documents issued by the Licensing Division which would otherwise have been due to expire on or before September 30, 2021 are now deemed to be valid up to October 01, 2021; and

(2) The timeframe for the completion of any transfer of vehicle registration – that is, any transfer of vehicle registration required to be completed on or before September 30, 2021 may be completed on or before October 01, 2021.

Given the far-reaching impact of this initiative and concerted efforts by the general public to become compliant with the new regulations, the Ministry of Works and Transport has taken a decision to extend the moratorium on the enforcement of the new Windscreen and Window Tint Regulations, 2020 by an additional period of three months, commencing from March 07th 2021 and expiring on June 6th 2021.
