SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Motorcoach safety received increased 

public attention after several serious 

crashes during 2011, some of which 

involved ‘‘curbside’’ bus operators, 

passenger carrier operations often 

characterized by high passenger loads 

with service between urban areas. As a 

result, the National Transportation 

Safety Board (NTSB) conducted an 

investigation of motorcoach safety with 

an emphasis on curbside operations. 

One objective of the investigation was to 

describe the characteristics of the 

curbside business model among 

interstate motorcoach carriers. The 

NTSB examined a population of 4,172 

active interstate motorcoach carriers 

operating in the United States and 

identified 71 of them as scheduled 

motorcoach carriers providing curbside 

service. 

In its ‘‘Executive Report on Curbside 

Motorcoach Safety’’ that was published 

on October 12, 2011, the NTSB stated
