Established in May 2000, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department's Passenger Vehicles for Hire (PVH) Office administers and enforces Chapter 22 of the Charlotte City Code, the PVH Ordinance. The PVH Ordinance can be viewed at
http://www.municode.com/ (
To find the ordinance at the Municipal Code web site, click on "ONLINE LIBRARY" and then click on North Carolina and select Charlotte City Code. Once the Charlotte City Code is displayed, go to Chapter 22 to view the PVH ordinance.) The PVH ordinance regulates the licensing, inspection, and operation of all passenger vehicles for hire that operate within
Charlotte's corporate city limits. Applicable vehicles include all taxicabs, limousines, shuttle vans, special needs transportation vehicles, contract vehicles, and non-metered passenger vehicles for hire.
The Passenger Vehicles for Hire office also works with the
PVH Board, City Council, and City Manager's office to regulate company, vehicle, and driver quality and operating standards. Our common goal is to ensure sufficient, professional, and safe for-hire transportation service to all citizens of
Charlotte and those who visit our city.
