Passenger Endorsement Training
Get Qualified to Transport Passengers Safely
A Passenger (P) Endorsement is required to operate any commercial vehicle designed to carry 16 or more passengers, including the driver. This includes transit buses, church vans, charter buses, airport shuttles, and tour buses. Adding this endorsement to your CDL opens up a wide range of job opportunities in transportation, education, tourism, and more.
Whether you're preparing for a new role or need to certify for a company vehicle, our Passenger Endorsement training ensures you meet all DOT requirements while gaining the skills needed to transport passengers confidently and safely.
