Bus Safety Bill passes as part of Transportation Bill
Icon viewers:
A great big thank you to the people of Bluffton for your support of the Motor Coach Safety bill, which was passed by Congress this past week as part of the Transportation bill.
Thank you for signing the petition to members of Congress and for writing to them. It has been five years since the Bluffton University bus crash and the beginning of the petition drive, and finally now the US will have buses with seat belts, safer glass, stronger bus bodies, better training for drivers and other safety features.
The bill also directs the DOT to conduct a feasibility study of retrofitting seat belts and anti ejection glazing to existing motor coaches. This bill does not include school buses.
Thank you for your encouragement and support.
