Practice question

For Hire classification is associated with certificates of public convenience issued by which body?

  1. Board of Transportation
  2. Land Transportation Commission
  3. Department of Public Works
  4. City Council

Answer: A — Board of Transportation

Understanding for-hire classifications involves knowing who can authorize public service operations. A certificate of public convenience is the official permission for a service to operate publicly for a fee, and in this framework that authorization comes from the Board of Transportation. They review proposed for-hire services and grant the CPC if the public need and feasible operations are shown. Without a CPC from this body, a for-hire operation isn’t legally allowed to serve the public. The other agencies handle different tasks—vehicle licensing, regulatory compliance, or local permits—not the issuing of CPCs for for-hire services.
