West Palm Beach, FL Mobility & Curb Rules: TNC Pickup Zones (2026)

" Section 22-227(a) sets the pickup-zone restriction at the heart of this rule: no vehicle for hire company or driver shall solicit or pick up passengers at any duly established Palm Tran bus stop or at any city trolley stop. That keeps rideshare and taxi pickups off the dedicated transit stops used by the county bus system and the city's own trolley line. Section 22-227(b) adds a second restriction reaching how drivers attract riders in public: no company or driver may solicit passengers or attract their attention by calling out or by using a horn, bell, whistle or other signal device, though the section carves out an exception for non-motorized passenger vehicles equipped with a manually operated, nonelectric bicycle bell.

Operating on city streets at all first requires the underlying permits set out earlier in the article: § 22-222 requires a valid Palm Beach County vehicle for hire business permit, county decal, county driver ID badge, a city-issued decal under § 22-223, a city business tax receipt, and proof of commercial auto insurance. 00 for a second offense within a year and each offense after that, and revocation of the certificate of use for a fourth offense by a company or owner within any 12-month period.
