Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement v. Delaware Express
Shuttle, Inc.; Doc. No. C-2013-2380902COMPLAINT
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) is a duly constituted agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania empowered to regulate public utilities within the Commonwealth. The Commission has delegated its authority to initiate proceedings which are prosecutory in nature to the Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement. Pursuant to that delegated authority and Section 701 of the Public Utility Code, the Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Prosecutory Staff hereby represents as follows:
1. That Delaware Express Shuttle, Inc., Respondent, maintains its principal place of business at 407 North Front Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101.
2. That Respondent was issued a Certificate of Public Convenience by this Commission on October 5, 1992, at A-00110266.
3. That by Order entered on October 6, 2011 at C-2010-2151860, Respondent was ordered to pay a civil penalty of three thousand dollars ($3,000.00). To date, Respondent has failed to submit any payments to this Commission.

A Certificate holder has an obligation to comply with the Commission's rules and regulations. A Certificate of Public Convenience is neither a contract nor a property; it is a privilege. Where that privilege is violated, the Commission may, for due cause, exercise its power to revoke a carrier's privilege to operate. Paradise v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 132 A.2d 754, 184 Pa. Superior Court 8 (1957).
Wherefore, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby requests that the Commission issue an Order which revokes the Certificate of Public Convenience held by Respondent at A-00110266.

Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement v. Denis M. Cab Co.;
Doc. No. C-2013-2382837COMPLAINT
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) is a duly constituted agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania empowered to regulate public utilities within the Commonwealth. The Commission has delegated its authority to initiate proceedings which are prosecutory in nature to the Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement. Pursuant to that delegated authority and Section 701 of the Public Utility Code, the Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Prosecutory Staff hereby represents as follows:
1. That Denis M. Cab Co., Respondent, maintains its principal place of business at 521 Jansen Avenue, Essington, PA 19029.
2. That Respondent was issued Certificates of Public Convenience by this Commission on February 2, 1998 at Application Docket No. A-00114502.
3. That by Secretarial Letter issued on March 24, 2011 at C-2010-2202814, Respondent was directed to pay a civil penalty of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00). To date, Respondent has not submitted any payments to this Commission.
4. That by Secretarial Letter issued on July 8, 2011 at C-2010-2128699, Respondent was directed to pay a civil penalty of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00). To date, Respondent has not submitted any payments to this Commission.
5. That by Secretarial Letter issued on August 22, 2012 at C-2011-2269750, Respondent was directed to pay a civil penalty of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00). To date, Respondent has not submitted any payments to this Commission.
6. That Respondent failed to pay fines totaling seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) and violated 66 Pa.C.S. § 501(c) for failing to observe, obey and comply with a Secretarial Letter issued on March 24, 2011 at C-2010-2202814, July 8, 2011 at C-2010-2128699, and August 22, 2012 at C-2011-2269750.
A Certificate holder has an obligation to comply with the Commission's rules and regulations. A Certificate of Public Convenience is neither a contract nor a property; it is a privilege. Where that privilege is violated, the Commission may, for due cause, exercise its power to revoke a carrier's privilege to operate. Paradise v. Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 132 A.2d 754, 184 Pa. Superior Court 8 (1957).
Wherefore, the Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement Prosecutory Staff hereby requests that the Commission issue an Order which revokes the Certificates of Public Convenience held by Respondent at A-00114502.
Respectfully submitted,
David W. Loucks, Chief
Motor Carrier Enforcement
