Passenger Transportation Licence Contacts

Last updated on March 9, 2023

The Registrar of Passenger Transportation (Registrar) and the Passenger Transportation Board (Board) have distinct responsibilities administering the Passenger Transportation Act.

Registrar of Passenger Transportation

The Registrar of Passenger Transportation administers and issues passenger transportation licences and verifies safety requirements. The Registrar initiates compliance and enforcement actions against both licensed and unlicensed operators.

Passenger Transportation Board

The Passenger Transportation Board is an independent tribunal. It’s primary responsibility is to review applications and make decisions for licensing of passenger-directed vehicles (for example, taxis, limousines, shuttle vans, ride hail) and inter-city buses in B.C. The Board also reviews appeals of administrative penalties imposed by the Registrar.
