Bus Operations Working Group 

Bus Safety & Operations Working Group

The Bus Operations & Bus Safety Working Group will become one working group called, Bus Safety & Operations. The idea behind the collaboration of these working groups is to incorporate the functions of Operations and Safety as we develop standards for the transit industry.  Sub-working groups will be formed when necessary to address special needs or situations, such as Fire Safety which was the focal point of the Bus Safety working group at its inception.
