PART 374_PASSENGER CARRIER REGULATIONS--Table of Contents

 

                   Subpart E_Incidental Charter Rights

 

Sec. 374.503  Authority.



    Motor carriers transporting passengers, in interstate or foreign 

commerce, over regular routes authorized in a certificate issued as a 

result of an application filed before January 2, 1967, may transport 

special or chartered parties, in interstate or foreign commerce, between 

any points and places in the United States (including Alaska and 

Hawaii). The term ``special or chartered party'' means a group of 

passengers who, with a common purpose and under a single contract, and 

at a fixed charge for the vehicle in accordance with the carrier's 

tariff, have acquired the exclusive use of a passenger-carrying motor 

vehicle to travel together as a group to a specified destination or for 

a particular itinerary.
