Who is exempt from displaying permits for restricted areas?

Authorized ground equipment, such as tugs or belt loaders, is not required to display permits for restricted areas because these vehicles are considered part of the necessary operations that support airport functions. They are typically operated by personnel who are trained and authorized to access these areas for the purpose of maintaining airport services and ensuring operational efficiency.

In contrast, other options may be accountable for different regulations. For example, volunteers and those with temporary passes usually need to display permits to ensure security and identification in sensitive or controlled environments. Emergency response vehicles, while prioritized for quick access during emergencies, also have specific protocols regarding permits when not in an active response situation. The exemption for ground equipment helps streamline operations while maintaining safety in restricted zones.
