company, with the current owners of
PTS (Mr. Wood and Mr. Sielbeck)
owning 31.5 percent and 38.5 percent of
the outstanding corporate stock of the
holding company and the current
owners of USPT (Mr. Downs and Ms.
Kyle) owning the remainder of the
stock. Applicant states that, as a result
of this transaction, the current owners of
each company would jointly control
both carriers, with both companies
continuing to offer their existing service.
Under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), the Board
must approve and authorize a
transaction that it finds consistent with
the public interest, taking into
consideration at least: (1) The effect of
the proposed transaction on the
adequacy of transportation to the public;
(2) the total fixed charges that result;
and (3) the interest of affected carrier
employees. Applicant submitted
information, as required by 49 CFR
1182.2, including information to
demonstrate that the proposed
transaction is consistent with the public
interest under 49 U.S.C. 14303(b), and a
statement that the aggregate gross
operating revenues of PTS and USPT
exceeded $2 million for the preceding
12-month period, see 49 U.S.C.
14303(g).
Applicant submits that the proposed
transaction would have no significant
impact on the adequacy of
transportation services to the public.
Rather, Applicant anticipates that
common control of the carriers would
result in more efficient and timely
transportation. By combining the pickup
and delivery schedules of both
companies, Applicant states, detainees
scheduled for pickup could be booked
more expeditiously on the nearest
available bus or transporter, regardless
of whether the vehicle is operated by
PTS or USPT. Applicant notes that
consolidation would permit vehicle
sharing arrangements, coordinated
driver training, and safety management
and load sharing arrangements. It
further claims that consolidation would
allow for the centralization of various
management support functions such as
vehicle licensing, legal affairs,
accounting, human resources,
purchasing, and environmental
compliance.
With respect to fixed charges,
Applicant asserts that the efficiencies
generated by the transaction would
reduce the variety of unit costs now
being incurred to operate these carriers
under separate ownership. Additionally,
Applicant states that the combined
carriers would be able to enhance their
purchasing power, thereby reducing
insurance premiums and achieving
deeper discounts for equipment and

fuel. Applicant also claims that affected
employees would benefit from the
transaction. It says that employees
would maintain job security and would
have an increased opportunity to
schedule shorter tours of duty, resulting
in less time away from their home base.
Applicant further claims that the
proposed transaction would not have
any adverse competitive effect on any
portion of the passenger transportation
industry. Applicant states that the vast
majority of prisoners and detainees are
transported by U.S. Marshals, state law
enforcement officers, sheriffs, deputies,
or local police officers. Furthermore,
Applicant states, other for-hire carriers
such as Transcor, STS, U.S. Corrections,
Texas Prisoner Transport, GEO
Transport, Lock and Load, G4S, and
Global Prisoner Services are also in the
marketplace.1 According to Applicant,
competitors would not be adversely
affected by the transaction because
prisoner extradition services are
provided based upon open competition
among qualified service providers for
contracts of one to three years in
duration. Applicant also states that
there is nothing to preclude existing
carriers from expanding their routes,
rates and services, and nothing to keep
well capitalized new entrants from
entering the market at any time.
On the basis of the application, the
Board finds that the proposed
acquisition is consistent with the public
interest and should be tentatively
approved and authorized. If any
opposing comments are timely filed,
these findings will be deemed vacated,
and, unless a final decision can be made
on the record as developed, a
procedural schedule will be adopted to
reconsider the application. See 49 CFR
1182.6(c). If no opposing comments are
filed by the expiration of the comment
period, this notice will take effect
automatically and will be the final
Board action.
Board decisions and notices are
available on our Web site at
‘‘WWW.STB.DOT.GOV’’.
This decision will not significantly
affect either the quality of the human
environment or the conservation of
energy resources.
It is ordered:
1. The proposed transaction is
approved and authorized, subject to the
filing of opposing comments.
2. If opposing comments are timely
filed, the findings made in this notice
will be deemed vacated.
3. This notice will be effective

that the combined operation would constitute less
than 5 percent of the population being transported.
