When driving on the AOA, which of the following are required?

• A. Only a valid US driver's license
• B. Only an active LAX Security Badge bearing a Restricted Area Driver Icon
• C. Both a valid US driver's license and an active LAX Security Badge bearing a Restricted Area Driver Icon (unless escorted)
• D. No license or badge required

Answer: (C)

Access to the AOA is tightly controlled, so you must prove both you can drive a vehicle and you’re cleared to be in that area. A valid US driver’s license shows you’re legally able to operate a vehicle, while an active LAX Security Badge with the Restricted Area Driver Icon confirms you’re authorized to be in restricted areas and specifically allowed to drive there. The note about “unless escorted” means that in some escort situations, the escort’s credentials may cover access, but you personally still need the ability to drive. So the standard requirement is having both credentials: the license and the badge.
