Lane Transit District Charter Service Advisory Opinion Request

Lane Transit District submitted a formal request for an expedited advisory opinion to the Federal Transit Administration concerning the application of federal charter service regulations (49 C.F.R. §§ 604.8 and 604.9). The transit district seeks regulatory guidance on how these provisions apply to its charter bus operations.\n\nPublic transit operators and transit districts should monitor this proceeding for guidance that may clarify charter service restrictions, permitted operations, and compliance obligations under FTA regulations. The advisory opinion could establish interpretive guidance affecting how transit agencies across the country approach charter service provision.
