§ 6.73.360. Equipment.

A.

An owner, operator, or driver of a LSV shall daily inspect LSVs and all equipment at the time of departure from and return to the certificate holder's place of business, documentation of which shall be available to the MTLC staff upon request.

B.

No LSV engaged in the LSV business shall be driven or operated on a public street or byway of the city unless the owner or operator of the LSV has obtained a valid identification card issued by the MTLC director pursuant to a procedure and fees established by this chapter.

C.

A LSV used in passenger transportation service shall not drive or transport more passengers than there are proper seating for, excluding the driver of the vehicle, and at no time shall the driver allow any passenger to ride in any area of the vehicle that was not specifically designed as a seat; provided that in no event shall the number of passengers in a LSV exceed seven.

D.

If, upon any inspection, a LSV is found to be unsafe, unclean or unsightly, the MTLC staff or police officer may direct that the vehicle be taken out of service until such condition is corrected. Such vehicle shall be re-inspected and approved by the MTLC staff before returning to service, at which time a new permit shall be issued and a service fee (established by rule) shall be collected.

E.

The MTLC may, by rule, establish additional inspection requirements for a LSV and other equipment used in the LSV service.
