A CDL is not required to drive a shuttle van or bus that carries 15 passengers or less, including the driver. Driver requirements are governed by each individual employer.
Taxi
Montana does not employ a statewide requirement list to operate a taxi. Each municipality governs its own requirements, so contact your city clerk for information.
Chauffeur and Sport Vehicles
Statewide requirements do not exist. Contact your city clerk to inquire about specific licensing requirements that might be required by your town or city.
