The MBA Addendum applies in conjunction with the MBA to specifically meet the DOD's need for non-commercial motor vehicle service providers. Facts Four hundred sixty bus, van and limousine carriers participate in the MBA Program. Carriers provide ground transportation to all DOD travelers from individual passengers to groups. Carriers applying to the program must have one year of passenger transportation experience. Applicants must also successfully pass a pre-qualification inspection for DOD consideration.
Approved carriers undergo a facility, terminal and equipment inspection every two years.
Future initiatives include increased use of e-mail and computer automation for expeditious communication and bookings. The addendum will clearly define those standards for carriers transporting 16 passengers or less including the driver.
