Tallahassee, FL Mobility & Curb Rules: TNC Pickup Zones (2026)

748 in Sec. 22-1, and it separately carves TNC vehicles out of the chapter's own "vehicle for hire" definition, meaning most of chapter 22's permit and fee scheme for taxicabs and transportation services does not reach TNC drivers on city streets generally. The one place the city does reach TNC pickups is the airport. Sec. " Sec. 22-3 layers on the pickup-zone control proper: no vehicle for hire or TNC vehicle may arrange to pick up passengers at the airport unless it holds a current non-tenant business permit, or is associated with a company that has executed a blanket permit covering all of that company's vehicles.

An individual permit binds the driver to the airport's non-tenant business rules; a blanket permit binds the company and its drivers to the airport's applicable rules and regulations generally. The section is explicit that the permit does not grant any right to conduct business on airport property beyond what the airport's own rules allow, and that the permit terms and fees are set through the airport's own rules, regulations, minimum standards, and rates and charges, not through chapter 22 itself. Failure to comply with airport rules and regulations can result in restricted access to airport property, which functions as the enforcement mechanism for this section rather than a chapter 22 fine schedule.
