Surprise inspections and national summit focus on motorcoach safety
Federal, state and local police are conducting thousands of surprise safety inspections of motorcoaches, tour buses, school buses and other passenger vehicles across the country in conjunction with the national Motorcoach Safety Summit in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the US Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
The strike force is part of FMCSA's nationwide Passenger Carrier Strike Force. The two-week inspection sweep will continue through October 7, 2011.
