     1. With respect to each taxicab that a certificate holder is authorized to operate, the certificate holder shall:

     (a) Equip the taxicab with a cruising light which has been approved by the Authority, and which must be attached to the roof of the taxicab and illuminated during the hours of darkness. The cruising light is different than the emergency light described in NAC 706.3744.

     (b) Display the unit number of the taxicab on the sides of both front fenders and on the left side of the trunk lid of the taxicab. The unit numbers in these three locations must be displayed in plain view in:

          (1) Bold block letters not less than 3 inches in height; and

          (2) A color that contrasts with the color of the taxicab.

     (c) Display within the taxicab in a location that is visible plainly to each passenger within the taxicab:

          (1) The telephone number of the certificate holder; and

          (2) The unit number of the taxicab.

     (d) Display the number of the certificate of the certificate holder on both of the rear fenders of the taxicab, at a point that is midway between the top and bottom of the fender and closest to the rear of the taxicab. The number of the certificate must be displayed as “CPCN,” followed immediately by the number.

     2. With respect to a taxicab or fleet of taxicabs that a certificate holder is authorized to operate, the certificate holder shall obtain approval from the Chair or a person designated by the Chair for:

     (a) The color scheme of the taxicab or fleet;

     (b) The insigne displayed on the taxicab or fleet;

     (c) The design of the cruising light on the taxicab or fleet; and

     (d) The assignment of a unit designation number to each taxicab,

Ê to ensure that those items do not conflict with those of another certificate holder.

     3. If the Authority determines that a certificate holder has violated any provision of this section, the Authority will cause the taxicab in regard to which the violation occurred to be withdrawn from service. A taxicab withdrawn from service pursuant to this subsection must not be placed back in service until the Authority inspects the taxicab and verifies that the violation has been corrected.
