In order to transport consumers the agency requires that an applicant cannot have more than (2) two moving violations in the last (3) three years, cannot have alcohol/drug related accident(s) or moving violation(s), and MUST have an unrestricted driver’s license. A motor vehicle records check is done on every applicant considered for an interview.
