JERSEY CITY — The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) conducted a surprise safety inspection today of charter buses traveling in the area of Liberty State Park as part of its partnership with the federal government to try to reduce the number of crashes and fatalities on the Garden State’s busy highways.
The inspection comes as summer officially begins and more and more vacationers turn to commercial buses for safe and reliable transportation.
“As the peak summer travel season begins and consumers look to commercial buses to enjoy vacations and visit family and friends, our agency is doing everything possible to make bus travel safe,” said FMCSA Administrator Anne Ferro. “By using FMCSA’s robust safety data on commercial bus companies, which comes from inspections like this one today, consumers can make smart safety decisions about the bus companies they choose. We encourage riders to always think safety first, and visit www.fmcsa.dot.gov or download the SaferBus app before buying a ticket or boarding a bus.”
