For-hire car service (taxi & livery) vehicles are usually regulated at the local government level (i.e. New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission). In general, for-hire vehicles with manufacturer rated capacity of over 8 passengers that operate within the state are usually regulated by the state Department of Transportation. For-hire vehicles with manufacturer rated capacity of over 8 passengers operating from state-to-state (interstate van service) need operating authority from the United States Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and a USDOT Safety tracking number. They are required to file a minimum $1.5 vehicle liability insurance (BIPD: bodily injury & property damage) insurance policy. For-hire vehicles with manufacturer rated capacity of over 16 passengers operating interstate (mini-bus and full size bus) require operating authority, a USDOT Number, and a $5 million BIPD policy. School buses are exempt from operating authority requirements. Not-for-hire vehicles over 15 passengers operating interstate are also considered commercial motor vehicles but must only have a USDOT Number. See Section 390.5 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations for more information: http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.aspx?chunkKey=0901633480023892.
