PUBLIC LAW 95-473—OCT. 17, 1978 II, or III of chapter 105 of this title may establish mileage, excursion, and commutation passenger rates including joint interchangeable 5,000 mile passenger rates with the privilege of carrying an amount of baggage without charge for at least 1,000 miles. A carrier that establishes a rate under this subsection may issue tickets reflecting that rate. A carrier that establishes a joint interchangeable 5,000 mile passenger rate shall also establish rules related to that rate specifying the amount of baggage that may be carried without charge under it. (b) A common carrier providing transportation subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under one of those subchapters may establish reduced rates for individuals when the cost of that transportation is an expense of an individual who— (1) is a member of the armed forces of the United States or another country when that individual is traveling in uniform on official leave, furlough, or pass; or (2) has been released from the armed forces of the United States not more than 30 days before beginning that transportation and is traveling home or to a prospective place of abode. (c) A common carrier providing transportation subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under one of those subchapters may provide transportation without charge for an individual who is— ^1) a necessary caretaker of livestock, poultry, milk, or fruit; (2) an executive officer, general chairman, or counsel of an employee organization authorized to represent employees of that carrier under chapter 8 of title 45; (3) an employee in charge of the mails when working or traveling to or from work; (4) a newsboy on a train; (5) a baggage agent; or (6) a witness attending a legal investigation in which that carrier has an interest. (d)(1) In this subsection— (A) "employee of a carrier" includes an individual who— (i) is furloughed, pensioned, or not on active duty because of advanced age or infirmity that occurred while the individual was employed by that carrier; (ii) is being transported for purposes of reemployment by that carrier; or (iii) was killed while employed by a carrier. (B) "family" refers to the family of an individual named in clause (A) of this paragraph and includes the widow or minor child of an employee who died while employed by a carrier.

A freight forwarder providing service subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under subchapter IV of that chapter may provide services related to movement of property for those individuals without charge. However, transportation of, or service provided for, household goods must be due to a change in the place of employment of an officer or employee while employed by that carrier. § 10723.
