Passenger Carriers are required to file evidence of one or more types of insurance coverage to secure and maintain active operating authority or registration. All carriers are required to file evidence of liability coverage. Minimum limits vary by type of carrier and other factors. Evidence of coverage is filed using a Commission-prescribed form.
Any for-hire passenger carrier that employs workers in its operation must submit evidence of workers' compensation coverage by filing either (1) a certificate of insurance (Commission Form TL-938) or (2) a certificate of consent to self-insure issued by the Department of Industrial Relations.
