Current registrants renewing their fleet(s) will provide only the actual mileage which they travelled during the reporting period. Their registration fees will be based on the mileage provided. Their cab card(s) however, will list all member jurisdictions, giving the fleet the freedom to travel to any jurisdiction without the hassle of having to add a jurisdiction to their fleet or purchase trip permits.
New registrant’s registration fees will be based on the New Brunswick average per vehicle distance chart per jurisdiction for the first year. They will no longer have to provide estimate mileage for jurisdictions in which they intend to travel. Like existing registrants, their cab cards will display all jurisdictions. In subsequent years, their fees will be based on their actual mileage accumulated during the reporting period.
Initially, the FRP changes will apply to new registrants and fleets with a renewal date of January 1st, 2015 or later. Registration renewals which expire November 30th, 2014 or earlier will continue to fall under the old rules until their 2015 expiry date. In the meantime, the cab cards for these vehicles will continue to only display the jurisdictions selected by the carrier and add jurisdiction transactions will be required if the carrier chooses to add a jurisdiction mid-year.
