69 INDIANA Statewide Regulations The State of Indiana generally regulates motor vehicles operating within the state. Ind. Code § 9 (2007). For more information, contact the Indiana DOT at http://www.in.gov/indot/. Indiana—Indianapolis International Airport (IND) Overview IND is owned and operated by the Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA). The authority regulates ground transportation primarily through agreements with service providers. Taxicabs must comply with the authority’s Taxicab Rules and Regulations. IND is a semi-closed system. Local IAA Ground Transportation Agreement Notes.—IAA agreements with commercial ground transportation service providers are largely standardized for all types of service. There is no formal ground transportation policy, but the IAA will not enter into an agreement without the following requirements: General Policies Vehicles must have an AVI transponder. Passengers may only be loaded in designated zones. All operators must carry a minimum level of insurance. Requirements are based on vehicle type and operation. Vehicle Operations Operators are assigned an operating area in their agreement with the IAA. Typically, rules are included regarding the time, place, manner, and scope of permissible business operations. All vehicles will receive a permit sticker following an inspection by the IAA. Shared Ride Authorizations Shared ride providers must be registered with either the City of Indianapolis or the State of Indiana and comply with any rate restrictions. Contract Van Agreements Each contract van agreement grants the operator exclusive rights to transportation between the airport and a single location. Taxicab Rules and Regulations Cited as: IAA Taxicab Regs. § x (2007). Permits Permit operators must be licensed by the City of

70 Indianapolis. IAA Taxicab Regs. § 1 (2007). Vehicle Standards Vehicles must display city-required insurance stickers and comply with all city rules. IAA Taxicab Regs. § 2 (2007).

IAA Taxicab Regs. § 3 (2007). Suspensions and Revocations Penalties are determined at the discretion of the IAA. IAA Taxicab Regs. § 10 (2007).
