Morocco Overhauls Taxi Industry with New Labor Regulations

This evolution stems from the authorities’ desire to more strictly regulate employment relationships in this sector, as part of a broader social protection project initiated by King Mohammed VI.

From now on, the provincial governors, based on a circular from the Ministry of the Interior, make the granting of taxi operating permits conditional on the signing of employment contracts with the drivers (holders of a trust permit and a valid professional card) and their declaration to the provincial services and the CNSS.

Another requirement: the number of employed drivers must at least equal the number of licenses held. Companies must also ensure that taxis are driven only by their declared employees.

The Minister of the Interior, Abdelouafi Laftit, has reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to improving taxi services, ensuring the stability of professionals and contractual relationships, and improving the social conditions of drivers.
