Lyft trade dress emblem
If you drive in Philadelphia, local laws require drivers to always display two Lyft emblems when in driver mode: one on the front windshield and the other on the rear windshield. See the image below for placement instructions. Failure to display your Lyft emblems may result in citations or a fine, so make sure to display them every time you drive with Lyft.
Heads up: You will still need to display a rear emblem even if you have a tinted rear windshield.
If you drive in any other Pennsylvania city, drivers are required to display one Lyft emblem in their front windshield while in driver mode.
After you’re approved to drive, your Lyft emblems will arrive within 1-2 weeks. If you didn't get your emblems or need new ones, place an order in your Dashboard. You can also print temporary emblems while waiting for the official ones to arrive, or pick up emblems at the Hub.
Airport displays
Keep a Lyft emblem displayed at all times while giving Lyft rides at any Pennsylvania airport.
If you’re giving a non-Lyft ride at the airport, make sure to remove your Lyft emblem before entering airport property.
