LAX Transportation Permits

Finding Landside Operations and getting your permit

Landside Ops

Landside is the governing body for all transportation at LAX. If you want to pickup or drop off at LAX they are the people to deal with.

One of the options that are available for those businesses providing transportation at the airport is the Ground Transportation Program. This program makes it possible for TCP or the Transportation Charter Party participants to get permits. It is necessary to have this status to pick-up passengers for transport at Los Angeles international airport. The Department of Airports is responsible for issuing licenses and decals.

Once you have a TCP number from the state of California and a business license from the city of Los Angeles, you can apply for licensing to do pickups at LAX.
