§ 1053.43. Certain limousine requirements.

 (a)  Purpose. This section is intended to address limousine service in Philadelphia that is within the jurisdiction of the Authority as provided by the act, but is not commonly considered either Philadelphia service or limousine service by the public or other regulating agencies as identified in subsection (b).

 (b)  Certain limousines covered. This section applies to remote carriers as provided in §  1053.42 (relating to remote carriers).

 (c)  Regulation.

   (1)  Limousines subject to this section will be subject to regulation and enforcement by the Authority for violations of Department of Transportation equipment inspection standards in 67 Pa. Code Chapter 175 (relating to vehicle equipment and inspection). For example, a limousine registered as provided in this section that is determined by the Authority to be in the course of providing service with a broken windshield will be subject to the standard enforcement procedures of this part.
