For Immediate Release
PSC Revokes Certificates of Authority for Two Nebraska Carriers
Lincoln, Dec. 8, 2020 – The Nebraska Public Service Commission has
issued two Orders Revoking the Certificates of Authority for two Nebraska
Carriers. At its December 8, meeting the Commission issued Order B-1343,
revoking the Certificate of Authority for Denver Coach, Inc., of Scottsbluff
and Order B-1880, revoking the Certificate of Authority of Nebraska Taxi,
LLC, of Lexington.
“We have had no response from either Carrier despite extensive efforts by
the commission’s motor transportation department to reach out to them to
help resolve their issues,” said Commissioner Tim Schram. “Therefore, we
are left with no recourse but to cancel their ability to do business in our
state.”
In addition to extensive efforts to contact both carriers, the Commission held
a November 16, show cause hearing at which neither carrier made an
appearance. The Orders B-1343 and B-1808 revoke the Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity for both carriers and orders both carriers to cease
and desist providing service in the state of Nebraska.
Denver Coach, Inc., provides transportation services between Scottsbluff and
Gering to Denver as well as transport intrastate within the counties that make
up that area. Denver Coach has both special party and charter bus designation
as well as a limousine service. Its primary service of late has been
as a bus shuttle service.
Nebraska Taxi, LLC, is permitted to provide transportation by taxi within Dawson
County and over irregular routes within the state.
Commissioner Schram said, “While we hate to see carriers cease serving our
state, we have a duty to our citizens to ensure all carriers are operating in a
safe manner in accordance with state law and commission rules and regulations.”
