FMCSA Launches Bus Safety iPhone App

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said it launched an iPhone application last week that allows users to search for and find bus companies’ safety records. The application does not display data for trucking companies, and an agency spokeswoman did not say whether FMCSA plans to eventually include those data.

SaferBus shows the data FMCSA gathers as part of its Compliance, Safety, Accountability program in the five compliance categories that apply to bus companies: unsafe driving, fatigued driving, driver fitness, controlled substances and alcohol and vehicle maintenance.
