    • Abstract:
      The Bus Testing Program of the Federal Transit Administration was established in response to the requirements of the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act (STURAA) of 1987. Under the program, testing is required on all new model buses before they can be purchased with federal funds. The testing mandated by STURAA and the vehicle categories included were expanded by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) in 1991.

      Seven tests are currently performed on the buses: safety, structural integrity and durability, reliability, performance, maintainability, noise, and fuel economy. These are not pass-or-fail tests; the data from all the tests are compiled into a test report that is made available to the manufacturer

      to provide information during the procurement process.
