Regulatory, Airport Updates on the Docket at NCLA Meeting

NCLA members and supporters met up in early August The North Carolina Limousine Association (NCLA) hosted an intimate meeting August 8, where they welcomed Chauffeur Driven Director of Events Jess Pavlow for a day of local and industry updates.

Members in attendance were given deeper insights into a newly established motorcoach mandate. The new regulation is regarding logs that would help diminish driver fatigue while improving accuracy of record-keeping. Operators of motorcoaches will need to accommodate these regulatory and safety changes by December 18, 2017.
