The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has safety and security regulatory authority over all rail transit agencies in California and works in cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration and the transit agencies to enhance public safety and security.
New PRT systems in California, if they are not
yet certified elsewhere, will most likely require certification by
the CPUC in order
to carry passengers in the State of California. CPUC certification may be necessary even if certification has already been obtained from another agency.
