How can you determine if the bus you intend to board will be safe?<\/p>\n<p>The federal government is making it easier to check on a bus line&#8217;s safety record. The website of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which monitors the safety of trucks and buses that cross state lines, gives passengers the chance to find out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmcsa.dot.gov\/safety\/passenger-safety\/search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">status of a carrier<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tripsavvy.com\/is-my-tour-bus-is-safe-to-ride-2973024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">search by company to get information<\/a> such as the number of vehicle inspections and driver and vehicle safety statistics. Available information includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An authorization to operate. If you see &#8220;Not authorized to operate&#8221; in red in the search, that means a bus company cannot transport passengers across state lines.<\/li>\n<li>Financial responsibility information<\/li>\n<li>Operator safety history, which shows a company&#8217;s performance in various safety categories.<\/li>\n<li>A company safety rating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you get behind the wheel of your own car, you know how it has been maintained as well as your own skill as a driver.
