DOT steps up enforcement of church vehicle regulations
The U.S. Department of Transportation has begun enforcing regulations regarding vehicles of “Non-business PMCPs” which include churches, private schools, scout groups, and other organizations that may purchase or lease buses for the private transportation of their respective groups. If the vehicle meets one of four criteria and crosses state lines, it must comply with regulations or face fines of up to $11,000 per day: a) has a combination vehicle weight of more than 10,001 lbs.; b) transports between 9 and 15 passengers (including the driver) for compensation; c) designed to transport 16 or more passengers; d) transports hazardous waste materials. Churches are strongly urged to review the descriptions and policies posted on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration website Dept. of Transportation to make sure church and daycare vehicles comply.
