Quarterly and Annual PUC Transportation Reimbursement Account (PUCTRA) Fee Statements

The Commission collects from each licensed carrier a fee, known as the Public Utilities Commission Transportation Reimbursement Account (PUCTRA) Fee, based on the carrier's gross intrastate operating revenue. Carriers with annual revenue of $100,000 or less submit the PUCTRA Report and any Fees due annually (January 15 of each year). All other carriers submit the PUCTRA Report and any Fees due on a quarterly basis (January 15, April 15, July 15, October 15 of each year).

Effective January 1, 2023, Resolution M-4865 revises the PUCTRA user fees provided in Public Utilities Code Section 421 as follows.  Late-filed PUCTRA Reports and Fees are subject to a 25% penalty on the amount due.

  • Passenger Vehicle Operators (Charter Party Carriers (TCP), including Transportation Network Companies (TNC) and Passenger Stage Corporations (PSC)): 0.003 (0.3%) of gross intrastate revenue plus minimum $10 quarterly fee or $25 annual fee
  • Common Carrier Vessel Operators (VCC): 0.0055 (0.55%) of gross intrastate revenue plus minimum $10 quarterly fee or $25 annual fee
