Page OverviewBuses and Shuttles
If you intend to drive a vehicle that weighs over 16,000 pounds or is meant to transport more than 16 passengers (driver included), you will need to obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL).
If you need to obtain a CDL or a license endorsement, check out our Applying for a New CDL article for instructions on how to do so. And, don't miss our other commercial driving-related articles, too.
School Bus Driver
Those intending to be a school bus driver need to obtain a school bus endorsement, in addition to their CDL.
Chauffeurs and Taxi Drivers
Drivers, such as chauffeurs and taxi drivers, who tranport passengers as part of their job need to have at least a passenger endorsement on their license.
Sport Vehicles
You don't need a special license to drive an off-highway vehicle (OHV) or all-terrain vehicle (ATV) in the state.
