Bus Crash Causation Study Analysis
There is no national database that provides information on the causes of, or factors contributing to, bus crashes. In 2004, FMCSA initiated the Bus Crash Causation Study (BCCS) as a complementary and follow-on effort to the LTCCS. The purpose of the BCCS is to analyze the causes of crashes involving buses, so FMCSA can implement optimally effective countermeasures to reduce crash occurrence and severity. The BCCS will use the same data collection methodology as the LTCCS. Data collection was initiated in 2004 in New Jersey and will continue through 2006 with a release of initial data and findings to Congress and the public scheduled for 2007. It is anticipated that about 40 bus crashes involving at least one fatality or one injury will be covered by the study.
