• The animal is in a pet taxi or an approved, secure carrier.
• The client will be solely responsible for loading and unloading the animal into the carrier and onto the SCT vehicle.  Removal of the animal from the SCT vehicle after reaching the destination point.
• The client will be solely responsible for cleaning up after the animal.
• The client follows the driver’s instructions regarding the animal’s transportation.
