Frequently asked questions

Why does a transit logistics agreement need special compliance clauses?

Passenger transportation is heavily regulated. This agreement includes clauses for FMCSA, DOT, and ADA compliance to ensure that the logistics provider meets all legal requirements, reducing liability for the client.

Can I use this agreement for a single shuttle route?

Yes, the agreement is flexible. You can specify the service description and area to cover just one route or an entire fleet, making it suitable for both small and large operations.

What insurance coverage should I require?

At a minimum, require auto liability (often $5 million for transit operations), general liability, and workers' compensation. Your specific requirements may vary based on the service area and vehicle types.
