PSC Suspends Carriers for Non-Compliance

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

           PSC SUSPENDS CARRIERS FOR NON-COMPLIANCE
 

Lincoln, FEBRUARY 1, 2022 – The Nebraska Public Service
Commission (PSC) has issued an Order (MT-0001.02) suspending
10 passenger carriers for failure to comply with its annual renewal
requirements pursuant to Neb. Rev. Statute §75-305. Those carriers
named in the Order, must cease and desist from providing for-hire
transportation services for passenger carriers in Nebraska.

In addition to annual notices reminding carriers of the renewal
requirements, the PSC held a hearing to allow carriers an
opportunity to appear before the commissioners to provide reason
as to why the due date for renewal could not be met. During the
January 25 hearing not one carrier in question made an appearance.

All regulated carriers must pay annual fees prior to January 1, of
each year for each vehicle registered with the carrier. The per vehicle
fee allows a carrier to confirm with the PSC the vehicles it intends to
operate under its authority, ensuring the commission receives proper
payment of annual renewal fees as well as confirmation of insurance
status for the registered vehicles.

Each certificate of authority will remain suspended until all annual
renewal requirements are completed, and the commission enters an
Order reauthorizing the provisions of service. ###
