Charter Bus Service

FTA’s Charter Bus Service Rule, which implements 49 U.S.C. 5323(d), protects private charter operators from unauthorized competition from FTA grant recipients.

Registration

Charter Registration Website


The Charter Registration Tool allows private charter providers to receive notices of upcoming charter opportunities. Private operators must register on a bi-annual basis, otherwise they will no longer receive notices after their registration expires. Qualified Human Service Organization’s (QHSO) that do not receive funds from one of the 65 Federal programs included in Appendix A of the Charter Rule must also register on the website.


In order to take advantage of the charter rule provisions private charter operators and applicable QHSO’s must be registered on FTA’s Charter Registration Website.
