  1. Nowadays the only reason anyone takes the time to create a business entity, enroll in the DMV’s employer pull notice program, create a drug and alcohol education and testing program for drivers, purchase a vehicle/s, convert them into commercial vehicles(Livery plates) and cover them with commercial insurance, a lengthy and costly process, IS TO obtain a TCP# and work the airport. For which SFO operation authority is required; both coming in the form of a sticker placed on the bumper and windshield of accepted vehicles. TCP on the left SFO on the right.

    All work exclusively on the Uber platform because Uber has been the only TNC thats given said companies the “partnership” option. Opening the door to their client base since companies have the required permits to operate at SFO.

    Will sidecar drivers be required to form a business entity to obtain a TCP# and airport permit/transponder to pick up and drop off at SFO, like in the way private transport companies, LLCs or partnerships have had to do?

    I know the governor has already done away with the issuance of Livery plates and SFO is upgrading their transponder technology so it sounds like it might be a no.

    I’d like to know if I should even spend the time and money in obtaining my own TCP if I can just go work with Sidecar if they’re not requiring it to work the airport? Additionally, would they then be allowed to “hire” drivers or rent their cars out in the same way entities with TCP do?
