McCarran International Airport (LAS) has special rules and regulations for TNC (Transportation Network Company) driver-partners providing trips to and from the airport. We’ve transcribed the airport’s Transportation Network Company Driver Training Manual below. You can also visit McCarran’s site to download the manual if you would like a copy.
- I. Transportation Requirements
Transportation Network Companies ("TNC"), which include Uber and Lyft, are allowed to operate at McCarran International Airport and related airport facilities (collectively, the "Airport") through a separate operating permit ("TNC Operating Permit") with the Clark County Department of Aviation ("CCDOA"). Therefore, when operating at the Airport, TNC drivers must strictly comply with the following transportation requirements as well as those outlined in the TNC Operating Permit and Operating Directive 01-2-R005 (see online version at www.mccarran.com/Transportation/TNCDriverManual):
- Always have TNC App open while on Airport property.
- Always properly display TNC's Trade Dress and Nevada Transportation Authority (NTA) Vehicle Inspection Decal.
- Always use the TNC's App in order to properly record the activities and status of the driver and passenger.
- Driver must present information upon request by Airport personnel. This includes viewing the TNC's App ride confirmation on the driver's cellular phone, a physical copy of the waybill or charter document, or any other method to validate the driver's purpose for being on Airport property.
- Failure to comply with these requirements will result in a Notice of Parking Infraction issued to the operator's/driver's vehicle. Drivers found to repeatedly be in violation of this may receive more severe penalties up to and including termination of their activity on Airport property.
