NTSB urges contingency plans for charter bus trips
The National Transportation Safety Board calls for charter bus firms to develop detailed contingency plans for crashes in remote areas with no wireless coverage. It targets the American Bus Association and United Motorcoach Association, urging pretrip planning, documentation, and coordination. The board also faults NHTSA for not implementing a decade old safety plan and recommends stronger roof structures, shatterproof windows, easier egress, and possible seat belts to prevent ejection in rollovers.
