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. ###
