Requirements of a Shuttle Service Provider

My wife and I are both retired and love to ride our bikes on the Katy and other trails close to home.

I'm wondering what requirements or recommendations in order to provide shuttle service for trail users. We have a 2018 GMC Denali with covered bed and a Swagman E-bike, 2 bike carrier. I'm willing to provide shuttle services within reasonable distances from Washington. Fully insured, but would like to know what else I need to be legal and covered.

Looks like it’s time to seek the advice of an attorney.

This might be a good place to start thinking about what will be required:

Other considerations:
How often are you willing to provide the service?
What Trailheads will you service?
How many people with their bikes and gear can you comfortably carry?
Will you be charging for the service or provide it free or accept donations?

Once you have it worked out, then check with an attorney to see if there are any holes in your plan.

Gary, are you in need of a financial partner? I'm also a retired KT enthusiast.
