What RHODE ISLAND PUBLIC TRANSIT AUTHORITY’s FMCSA record shows

Each field from the public registration, and what it means when you’re vetting this carrier.

USDOT number 749373
The USDOT number is FMCSA's permanent ID for this company. It never changes, even when the business renames, moves, or changes owners, so it's the most reliable way to identify RHODE ISLAND PUBLIC TRANSIT AUTHORITY.
MC number MC 188496
An MC (docket) number means the company applied for interstate operating authority to haul regulated freight for hire or to broker loads. Brokers and shippers usually check MC authority before booking.
Operating status Active
FMCSA lists this USDOT number as active. Active status alone doesn't confirm current insurance or operating authority; those are separate checks.
Operation type Intrastate Non-Hazmat
Intrastate carriers are registered to operate within a single state. Booking one for a load that crosses state lines is a compliance red flag.
Fleet size 359 power units, 530 drivers
RHODE ISLAND PUBLIC TRANSIT AUTHORITY self-reports 359 power units (trucks and tractors), which makes it a large fleet. Fleet counts come from the carrier's own MCS-150 filing and aren't independently audited.
Last MCS-150 update Aug 26, 2004
The MCS-150 is the registration form where carriers report their address, fleet size, and operations. RHODE ISLAND PUBLIC TRANSIT AUTHORITY last filed it on Aug 26, 2004. That's more than ten years old, so the company details here are essentially unverified.
