Pas 302.01 Policy. The primary responsibility for design,
construction, maintenance and inspection shall rest
with the owners of passenger tramways.
The safety of passengers and other users is of paramount importance, thus owners and operators shall conform to the
orders of the board. If any operator
fails to comply with the lawful orders of the board, within the time fixed
thereby, the board shall suspend the registration of such operator. These orders shall apply only to the tramways
and mechanisms necessary to propel passengers between loading and unloading
stations, the stations or platforms themselves and the
areas immediately adjacent to the tramways.
They shall not apply to conditions existing on trails, ski slopes or
other facilities provided in this area.

corrective action to be taken and a date for compliance therewith. Such order shall be served upon the area
operator by registered mail or in hand and shall become final, unless the area
