Posted by kcram3500 on Fri Oct 2 10:10:40 2009, in response to USDOT/NJDOT regs and MTA (was Re: Staten Island Atlantic Express Takeover MTA), posted by ctrabs74 on Fri Oct 2 09:37:23 2009. If SEPTA is running interstate bus service, they should be following the same rules. It would have to be researched if they have been granted waivers or grandfather rights.As for the license plates... * Buses owned by the state into the 1970s had Transportation Department (TD-1234) plates. * When NJ Transit was formed and titles were passed from NJDOT to NJT, the NJ Transit license plate was created (1234-NJ) * Buses owned by the Port Authority of NY & NJ in the 80s and 90s had standard Omnibus plates. * In the mid 90s, NJT owned-and-operated buses returned to Omnibus plates; NJT-owned/private-operated buses could apply for Apportioned plates. While I don't have documentation for this, I'm going to make the reasonable assumption that this was done for the same reason as a regular citizen who leases a car... the titleholder's name is on the registration, but the registration type is based on the leaseholder/operator. |
