A federal judge has denied a Utah bus company’s bid to block Nevada regulation of routes that run primarily between Reno and Las Vegas but briefly cross into California.
U.S. District Judge Robert C. Jones denied the company’s request for injunctive relief in a 12-page ruling Thursday that says the travel constitutes intrastate movement subject to state regulation.
Salt Lake Express, owned by Western Trails Charters & Tours, said its fleet of more than 100 buses and vans serving eight western states are inspected regularly. It said it’s had no similar trouble in Washington, Arizona, Montana, California, Wyoming, Idaho or Utah. “What is missing your child’s final high school baseball game worth?” they asked in court documents filed in federal court in Reno.
Jones said the ultimate test “is whether the local transportation service is an ’integral step’ in the interstate movement.” While Salt Lake Express said NTA had “declared war” when it impounded the mini-bus, Jones said that “in actuality, the NTA went about its business as a regulator.”
