UCLA is not alone; Ohio State, LSU, Michigan State, San Jose State, Alabama, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Wyoming have all been listed as colleges who use charter bus companies with deficient safety ratings. When questioned, officials at these schools usually claimed ignorance of the bus company’s safety record. Critics point out that these schools may be looking to save a few bucks on a low cost provider without doing due diligence on the quality of the provider.
Research studies have shown time and again that poor safety scores correlate with more accidents, and according to the US DOT, there is “no reason” for a company to repeatedly receive less than a satisfactory rating.
Colleges and other organizations that hire charter buses need to be aware of the ratings system and use it to make informed decisions about who to trust with their precious cargo.
