What is the CDL Passenger endorsement?

The Passenger, or P, endorsement is required for drivers who operate certain commercial motor vehicles designed to transport passengers.

Federal CDL standards require applicants for the Passenger endorsement to pass both an additional knowledge test and skills test. The knowledge portion covers passenger-specific operating and safety procedures, while the skills test must be taken in an appropriate passenger vehicle.

States administer their own CDL testing programs, but their tests must meet federal minimum standards.

  • Loading and unloading passengers safely
