Abstract:

Motor vehicle crashes involving buses represent a serious safety problem in the United States that has not been properly recognized or addressed. In 1989, for example, 57,000 buses were involved in accidents, resulting in 15,000 bus occupant injuries and 50 bus occupant fatalities. In addition, these accidents resulted in 205 occupant fatalities in other vehicles and 111 non-occupant fatalities. This investigation was undertaken to determine the capability of the Highway Safety Information System (HSIS) data base to provide detailed information on the causes and characteristics of transit bus crashes.
