NAC706.245. Deviations from and restrictions on regular routes.

     1. A vehicle operated under a certificate for the transportation of passengers or property over a regular route or between fixed terminals may not be operated for hire over any route other than that specifically authorized under the certificate. If any portion of a route is temporarily closed for construction, repair or other reason, the vehicle may operate over the most direct and practicable detour, and the operation must be conducted pursuant to the same regulations as the original route. If the detour or deviation extends or is expected to extend for more than 10 days, the carrier shall notify the Authority either in writing or by telegram indicating the probable duration and the cause of the detour.

     2. Unless otherwise provided in a certificate, authority for a regular route includes service to points or territory 1 mile on either side of the highway designated in the certificate or permit, but will not be construed to mean 1 mile beyond the designated terminals. If the term “city” or “town” is used in a certificate or permit, it means the boundaries of the city or town.

     3. Transportation over a regular route must be offered:

     (a) To the general public;

     (b) For a per capita fare only;

     (c) According to a published schedule; and

     (d) Only by a common motor carrier authorized to provide that service.
