Pedicab Permits
Pedicabs are pedal-powered tricycles hitched to a seated compartment commonly used to transport passengers from remote parking spots to event venues. Pedicabs are prevalent when large events are in town, but not all pedicab operators follow the City of Houston’s pedicab safety requirements.
Beginning October 1, 2024, Houston Police officers will begin ordering the towing and impoundment of illegal pedicabs that do not have a City of Houston vehicle permit and license.
For your safety and to ensure that the vehicle carries insurance, remember to always check for a valid pedicab permit before accepting a ride.
