| Description: |
Passenger carriers need a Class 1R Permit, issued by the Oregon Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Transportation Division, in order to provide a for-hire service carrying passengers in irregular route operations -- charter or special operations -- sightseeing tour operations, and/or seasonal regular route operations. The passenger service cannot be regular route, full-service scheduled in nature. That would require a Class 1P Certificate of Authority (Regular route scheduled means the transportation of persons between designated points over designated routes under time schedules that provide a regularity of services. Full-service means service that is offered during any part of more than 10 consecutive months in any 12-month period.)
Certain for-hire passenger operations are partially or totally exempt from regulation by the Oregon Department of Transportation, including limousine service on an irregular route basis with eight passengers or less, passenger service solely within a city and within three air miles of the city, and taxi service in cabs seating five or less.
