East Riding taxis to be marked with distinctive livery

Taxis in the East Riding will be the first in the Humber region to be branded with distinctive white and green livery to help improve public safety.

The pilot scheme, which will run until May and is being implemented by East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s licensing team, will see white vehicles on taxi ranks across the East Riding sporting green markings and displaying a Yorkshire rose symbol.

The implementation of the livery will be carried out in two phases with all existing licensed vehicles gradually becoming part of the livery by December 2020.
