California Form Tr 0106 PDF Details

In the snowy regions of California, safely navigating the roads means tire chains often become a necessity. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) established the chain installer permit program to ensure motorists have access to professional help with tire chain installation on state routes during the snow season. The TR-0106 form covers both the permit application and a release of liability, serving as the foundational document for anyone entering this specialized field.
