2021 Colorado Code|Title 40 - Utilities|Article 10.1 - Motor Carriers|Part 1 - General Provisions|§ 40-10.1-103. Subject to Control by Commission

  All common carriers and contract carriers are declared to be public utilities within the meaning of articles 1 to 7 of this title and are declared to be affected with a public interest and subject to this article and articles 1 to 7 of this title, including the regulation of all rates and charges pertaining to public utilities, so far as applicable, and other laws of this state not in conflict therewith.    Except as provided in subsection (1) of this section, motor carriers are not public utilities under this title, but are declared to be affected with a public interest and are subject to regulation to the extent provided in this article, in section 40-2-110.5, in article 6 of this title, and in article 7 of this title except sections 40-7-113.5, 40-7-116.5, and 40-7-117. The term “public utility”, when used in articles 6 and 7 of this title, includes all motor carriers.    Transportation network companies, as defined in section 40-10.1-602 (3), are not common carriers, contract carriers, or motor carriers under this title, but are declared to be affected with a public interest and are subject to regulation to the extent provided in part 6 of this article.

ANNOTATION   Annotator's note.

The general assembly has declared that a “common carrier” is a “public utility”. Miller Bros. v. Pub. Utils. Comm'n, 185 Colo. 414 , 525 P.2d 443 (1974).   Contract carriage has not been so declared. Miller Bros. v. Pub. Utils. Comm'n, 185 Colo. 414 , 525 P.2d 443 (1974).   The commission's authority over common carriers stems from both the constitution and the statutes, while its authority with respect to contract motor carriers is solely statutory. Miller Bros. v. Pub. Utils. Comm'n, 185 Colo. 414 , 525 P.2d 443 (1974).   Jurisdiction is expressly conferred on the commission by this section. Eveready Freight Serv., Inc. v. Pub. Utils. Comm'n, 131 Colo. 172 , 280 P.2d 442 (1955).
