Limo Bus And Charter Tour Bus Maintenance Guidelines

Businesses offering limo bus and charter tour bus services must follow the FMCSA’s vehicle regulations to maximize safety. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulates private interstate bus transportation by setting safety standards to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities. Private carriers must follow specific rules regarding licensing, driver qualifications, hours of service and maintenance.

Depending on the use of your limo, charter or other bus type, it will fall into one of two types—a business or non-business PMCP. A carrier considered a “private motor carrier of passengers” operates vehicles across state lines or transports 16 or more passengers.

Non-business PMCPs provide services for non-commercial organizations, such as churches, private schools, scout groups or charity groups. Read More
