USDOT Shuts Down 26 Bus Operators for Safety Violations

The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced yesterday that 26 passenger bus operators were shut down as "imminent hazards to public safety." In addition, 10 individual bus company owners, managers, and employees were ordered to cease all passenger operations, so that those individuals cannot attempt to operate as different or newly created motor carriers.

The action targeted three eastern companies that operated a much larger network of bus companies. The federal investigators found all the carriers had multiple safety violations, which included patterns of using drivers without proper commercial licences.

The Agency's press release is attached here. Also, a Washington Post story on the action is attached here as well.
