 Transportation

The Commission has regulatory and safety oversight over railroads, light rail transit agencies, rail crossings, moving companies and for-hire passenger carriers (limousines, airport shuttles, charter and scheduled bus operators).

Authority over intrastate air carriers, for-hire vessel carriers, interstate passenger and household goods carriers, and intrastate private carriers of passengers, is limited to registration of operations and filing evidence of liability insurance.

Transportation of property, other than household goods, is regulated by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and the California Highway Patrol. Such transportation requires a motor carrier permit from the DMV. To obtain the permit, please call the DMV at (916) 657-8153 or visit their web site at http://www.dmv.ca.gov/.
