Bus Driver Fatigue and Stress Issues Study Final Report November 18, 1999 I INTRODUCTION Arrowhead Space and Telecommunications, Inc. conducted a research project to identify unique aspects of operations within the motorcoach industry which may produce bus driver fatigue and stress. Funding for and oversight of the study was provided by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Office of Motor Carriers (OMC). The purpose of this study is to (1) identify from direct interaction with motorcoach owners, safety directors, operations managers, and drivers those fatigue-inducing stresses which they believe are unique to the motorcoach industry; (2) evaluate the relative influence of these stresses on bus driver fatigue; (3) provide relevant feedback to the FHWA/OMC for its use in future decisions which will affect the motorcoach industry; and (4) develop an outreach video to help motorcoach drivers understand the effects of fatigue, the stresses that induce it, and means to reduce it.

  • NJT Response to OLS Questions
    Department of Transportation and Motor Vehicle Commission FY 2021-2022 Discussion Points NJ Transit 13. Farebox revenue remains heavily depressed since the onset of COVID-19. The FY 2022 Budget in Brief specifies that the pandemic caused NJ Transit train ridership to decline by 75 percent and bus ridership by 50 percent. • Questions: By mode, when are ridership and farebox revenue expected to fully recover from COVID-19? What is the projected revenue gap in FY 2022 and beyond that is attributable to COVID-19? Response: Annual farebox revenue is not expected to return to pre-pandemic norms of nearly $1,000m until at least after 2025, if not later. The projected farebox revenue gap during FY20-FY25 from the FY21 Budget is shown in column “vs. FY21 Budget” in the table below.
