Requirements for passenger service vehicles
The Passenger Service Vehicle Rule (PDF, 480 KB, 24 pages) sets out:
- legal requirements which are checked when the vehicle is entry-inspected
- best practice approaches that drivers can voluntarily follow, for example:
- getting wheelchair anchorages, ramps and hoists checked and certified for vehicles transporting people with special needs
- having the towing connections checked and certified for situations where you're towing a light trailer.
