Wash. Admin. Code § 480-30-126 - Certificates, applications, auto transportation company
(1) A person applying for a certificate to
provide auto transportation company services must have the knowledge,
experience, and resources to conduct the service it proposes in its
application. The applicant must be fit, willing and able to comply with state
law and the requirements of this chapter.
(2) The commission must determine that the
public convenience and necessity, as defined in WAC
480-30-140(1),
requires the proposed service when considering an application for a new
certificate or extension of an existing certificate. An applicant must support
its application with statements by independent members of the public who need
the service or are knowledgeable about the need for service in the territory in
which the applicant seeks authority, or a statement by a representative of a
city, county or regional transportation planning organization who is
knowledgeable about the need for service in the territory in which the
applicant seeks authority.
(3) Auto
transportation company certificate applications are subject to the application
docket notice and objection provisions of WAC
480-30-116.
(4) The commission may set for hearing any
auto transportation company certificate application.
(5) If no existing company files an objection
under RCW
81.68.040, the commission may grant an
original application or an extension of authority, if:
(a) The applicant demonstrates a need for
service not provided by an existing auto transportation company holding a
certificate by filing statements by independent members of the public who need
the service or are knowledgeable about the need for service in the territory in
which the applicant seeks authority, or a statement by a representative of a
city, county or regional transportation planning organization who is
knowledgeable about the need for service in the territory in which the
applicant seeks authority;
(b) The
applicant demonstrates the financial ability to provide the proposed service.
"Financial ability" means that the applicant has sufficient financing or assets
to begin operations and continue them for a reasonable period while developing
business. This determination does not require a comprehensive analysis of cost
and revenue estimates of the full scope of proposed operations and balancing
start-up and long-run operating costs over an extended period; and
(c) The applicant demonstrates that it is
willing and able to comply with commission laws and rules.
