Memorandum of Understanding Between the United States of America and the United Mexican States on Facilitation of Charter/Tour Bus Service, December 3, 1990.
Operating authority from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) is required to provide interstate or cross border bus or truck services in the territory of the United States. A moratorium has been imposed on new grants of operating authority for persons of Mexico, except for provision of cross-border charter or tour bus services.
Under the moratorium, persons of Mexico without operating authority may operate only within ICC Border Commercial Zones, for which ICC operating authority is not required. Persons of Mexico providing truck services (including for hire, private, and exempt services) without operating authority are required to obtain a certificate of registration from the ICC to enter the United States and operate in the ICC Border Commercial Zones. Persons of Mexico providing bus service are not required to obtain an ICC certificate of registration to provide such service within the ICC Border Commercial Zones.
