What kind of training is necessary for prospective FHV drivers?

Mandatory training as specified by the TLC ensures that all prospective For-Hire Vehicle (FHV) drivers are well-prepared to operate their vehicles and serve passengers safely and efficiently. This training typically covers a range of essential topics including regulations that govern for-hire vehicle operations, safety procedures, understanding legal obligations, and best practices for customer service.

This comprehensive training is critical for maintaining professional standards and ensuring the safety and satisfaction of both drivers and passengers. The TLC mandates this training to create a consistent level of competency among all FHV drivers, which ultimately enhances the overall service quality within the industry.
