| The California Transit Insurance
Pool (CalTIP) is a joint powers insurance authority
organized under California law in 1987 in response
to the lack of liability insurance coverages
from the commercial insurance market. CalTIP
combines the resources of public transit operators
to minimize risk, increase buying power, and
provide stable, affordable insurance to its members.
CalTIP is a self-insurance program for public
transit operators. Rather than pay premiums to
a commercial insurance company, CalTIP members
pool funds to obtain affordable insurance coverage,
claims administration, and safety and loss control
programs. CalTIP is governed by representatives
of member transit operators which ensures that
the programs remain competitive with commercial
offering and continue to evolve to meet the changing
needs of public transit operators.
CalTIP publishes a free newsletter. Current and past copies of the newsletter
can by accessed by clicking here.
CalTIP's excess carrier, Alliant Insurance Services, Inc., now has a Web site
where members can make changes to vehicle schedules, request certificates of
insurance, etc. To access the site, just click on the banner near the top of
