Connecticut General Statutes 13b-392 – Considerations for granting certificate
In determining whether or not such a certificate shall be granted, the Commissioner of Transportation shall take into consideration the existing motor transportation facilities and the effect upon them of granting such certificate, the suitability of the applicant, or the suitability of the management if the applicant is a corporation, the financial responsibility and financial stability of the applicant, the ability of the applicant efficiently to perform the service for which authority is requested and the criminal history of the applicant. No such certificate shall be denied solely on the ground that there is an existing rail or household goods carrier service. When it appears that no household goods carrier service is being supplied over the route or routes applied for, public convenience and necessity shall be presumed to require operation of such service.
