The Old Line State has passenger transportation needs that stretch from Baltimore and Annapolis to Ocean City, Hagerstown, Frederick, College Park, Southern Maryland, and the Eastern Shore. You can find passenger transport job opportunities with airport shuttles, commuter routes, charter trips, church buses, school transportation networks, senior transportation, paratransit service, and tourism and travel around the Chesapeake Bay. If you have your commercial driver’s license (CDL) and plan to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) designed to carry 16 or more people, including the driver, you’ll need the Passenger "P" endorsement. To obtain this endorsement, you must pass the Passenger Endorsement Knowledge Test with a score of at least 80%. You must also pass the Air Brakes Knowledge Test if the CMVs you’ll be driving have air brakes. Additionally, you must pass the Skills Test for the class of passenger vehicle you plan to operate (in an air-brake-equipped CMV if necessary) if you have not already done so.

Our multiple-choice Maryland MVA CDL Passenger Endorsement Practice Tests familiarize you with the official test structure and wording. Our content experts have carefully crafted these exams to help ensure you pass your official exam on the first attempt.

From the pre-trip inspection through the after-shift check, the official exam tests whether you are fully prepared to safely transport passengers. You are expected to know how to inspect the service brakes, parking brake, steering mechanism, lights, reflectors, tires, horn, windshield wipers, mirrors, wheels, rims, coupling devices, and emergency equipment. You must also inspect the inside of the bus and all of its safety features.

You’ll need to know how to secure carry-on baggage so it does not block aisles or exits, follow hazardous materials restrictions on buses, manage passengers (including the disruptive ones!), make smooth starts and stops, control speed safely on curves, and use brake-door interlocks correctly. There are also railroad and drawbridge protocols you must adhere to. The vehicle used for testing matters, too. Make sure you take your test in the highest class of vehicle you intend to operate.
