Administrative Penalties

Under the Passenger Transportation Act (PTA), the Registrar of Passenger Transportation has the authority to impose administrative penalties solely against the holder of a passenger transportation licence (“licensees.”) This is in recognition of each licensee’s responsibility to exercise oversight over the operation of their commercial passenger vehicles. The Registrar has developed an Administrative Penalty Framework (APF) to guide the implementation of these administrative penalties. (A copy of the APF can be downloaded from the Registrar’s website at www.th.gov.bc.ca/rpt/.)
