CART director Allen McKinley announced a three year policy with Transit Casualty ends December 31 as the insurer goes out of business. He has sought quotes from 13 agencies since November 7, but none have offered coverage yet. CART paid 38000 in premiums for 23 buses this year and risks shutdown if no insurer is found.
