Minnesota. Transportation Regulation Board. Records, [1920s] - 2006.

Title: Records, [1920s] - 2006.

Records of this quasi-judicial independent agency, which regulated "for hire" transportation (anyone who transported freight or people for pay) within the state of Minnesota. The board operated from 1983-1996; some of these records were created under its predecessors, the Railroad and Warehouse Commission and the Public Service Commission/Department, or its successor, the Department of Transportation. Included are a complete set of the board's minutes (1983-1996) and weekly calendars (1983-2006), files of a study into the transfer of the board's powers to another agency (1993-1996), and carrier docket/case files (1920s-1999). The latter make up the bulk of the records; they are divided into charter carriers; regular route common carriers; rail carriers, particularly the Burlington Northern, Chicago and North Western, and Soo Line railroads; irregular route (special permit) common carriers; and petroleum carriers. There are also several smaller sets involving rates, security/armored vehicle companies, and building and house movers. The majority of the files deal with bus and trucking companies and railroads, as well as taxi, van, shuttle, medical transport, and limousine companies. Each file may contain correspondence, notices of hearings, petitions, briefs, proceedings, exhibits, orders, findings of fact, and other documents relating to such topics as transportation rate schedules and routes, opening and closing of rail lines and service, rail station and line maintenance, and granting and/or transfer of carrier permits. The files are in both paper and microfiche versions; no attempt has been made to compare the two versions for duplication. Some of the microfiche may also duplicate records housed in the records of the Public Service Commission/Department.
