Highways

For Travelers

The mission of TSA's Highway Passenger group is to protect the Nation's Highway Passengers aboard over-the-road motorcoaches.

An Intercity bus or 'motorcoach' is defined as a vehicle designed for long distance transportation of passengers, characterized by integral construction with an elevated passenger deck located over a baggage compartment.  It's at least 35 feet in length and carries more than 30 passengers.
