TOWER BUILDING, WASHINGTON, D. C.

The National Association of Motor Bus Operators now in the seventh year of its ex-istence as the national trade association of motor bus owners and operators, was formally organized early in 1926 as the Motor Bus Division of the American Automobile Association, through the affiliation with the American Automobile Association of the National Bus Association which had been formed in the summer of 1925. In 1928 the organization became known as the National Motor Bus Division of the American Automobile Association. At a general meeting of motor bus operators called in on August 22nd, 1929, a reorganization took place which resulted in a general change of government, membership classifications, dues, and stand­ ing committees, etc., and the name was officially changed to the National Association of Motor Bus Operators. In April, 1931, the Association was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. During all these changes affiliation with the American Automobile Association was retained and the relationship originally held by the National Motor Bus Division with the American Automobile Association has not been materially affected. Membership in the National Association of Motor Bus Operators is open to all operators of moto.r buses, to state associations of motor bus operators, and to manufacturers, distributors, and other persons, firms, or Corpora­ stions having dealings of a general nature with operator members of this Association. All activities that promote the welfare and prosperity of motor bus operators and of the bus industry as a whole are within the scope of this Association's program. These include national, state and municipal legis­ lation, important litigation in which precedents affecting bus operation are likely to be established, the collection and distribution of facts about bus operation, the study and dissemination of bus operating cost data, the main­ tenance of relations with important groups of organized business men, includ-. ing other transportation agencies, and· the distribution to the public of facts on. the economy and convenience of bus travel. BUS FACTS is an annual compilation of all important statistical infor­ mation beari.ng on the industry which has been brought to light by various individuals, trade publications,. and authoritative research agencies, during the completed calendar year. The information which it contains has been carefully examined, added to, and brought up-to-date by this Association, which here presents it in compact reference form. Single copies may be obtained free of charge upon request. [3] The Growth of Motor Bus Transportation

From BUS TRANSPORTATION

Total railroad taxes-federal, state and local-have shown a de­ crease during the last several years, while motor vehicle taxes climbed to new high levels. Motor vehicles are now paying close to five times the amount of taxes paid in 1919, while the railroads are paying less than 26 per cent more. Latest figures show motor vehicle tax total is three times that of the railroads.

[ 33 1 Proposed Uniform Standard to Govern Motor Vehicle Gross Weights

Adopted by the American Association of State Highway Officials in Con· vention at Washington, D. C., November 17, 1932, and recommended for adoption by all States.

It is the opinion of the Association that the adoption of .a uniform stand· ard to govern gross weight, dimensions and speeds for motor vehicles op· erating on the highways is a fundamental necessity for the following reasons: (a) To establish one of the fundamental prerequisites of highway design. (b) To promote efficiency in the interstate operation of the motor vehicle. (c) To secure safety in highway operation. (d) To remove from the highways undesirable equipment and op­ erations. (e) To stabilize on a definite basis the many relationships between the highway and the motor vehicle. These conclusions. have been reached after many years of consideration on the part of the Highway Transport Committee of the Association, sup­ plemented by painstaking research by a number of the State Highway De­ partments and the Bureau of Public Roads. The Association therefore makes the following recommendations to the proper State authorities having control of traffic on the highways: (1) WIDTH No vehicle shall exceed a total outside width, including any load thereon, of eight feet except vehicles now in operation which by reason of the sub­ stitution of pneumatic tires for other types of tires, exceed the above limit.

(2) HEIGHT No vehicle unladen or with load shall exceed a height of twelve feet, six inches.

(3) LENGTH (a) No vehicle shall exceed a length of thirty-five feet extreme over­ all dimension, inclusive of front and rear bumpers. (b) Combinations of vehicles shall consist of not more than two units and, when so combined, shall not exceed a total length of forty­ five feet. (c) The truck tractor and semi-trailer shall be construed to be one vehicle for the purpose of determining lengths.

[ 34] (d) For occasional movements of materials or objects of dimensions which exceed the limits herein provided, a special permit shall ·be re­ quired.

(4) SPEED (a) Minimum speed. No motor vehicle shall be unnecessarily driven at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic except when reduced speed is necessary for safe opera­ tion or when a vehicle or combination of vehicles is necessarily or in com­ pliance with law proceeding at reduced speed. (b) Maximum speed. No bus or truck shall be operated at a speed greater than forty-five miles per hour. Passenger automobiles may be oper­ ated at such speeds as shall be consistent at all times with safetyt and the proper use of the roads. (c) Vehicles equipped with solid rubber or cushion tires shall be operated at a speed not in excess of 10 miles per hour. (5) AxLB LoAD (a) The wheels of all vehicles, including trailers, except those op­ erated at 10 miles per hour or less, shall be equipped with pneumatic tires. (b) No wheel equipped with high pressure, pneumatic, solid rubber or cushion tires, shall carry a load in excess of 8,000 pounds, or any axle load in excess of 16,000 pounds. Research indicates that low pressure pneumatic tires can carry 9,000 pounds per wheel without increasing pavement slab stresses. An axle load shall be defined as the total load on all wheels whose centers may be included between two parallel transverse vertical planes forty inches apart. (c) These limitations are recommended for all main rural and inter­ city roads, but should not be construed as inhibiting heavier axle loads in metropolitan areas if any State desires. (d) These weight specifications for wheel and axle loads may be restricted by the State Highway Department for a reasonable period where road subgrades are materially weakened from thawing after deep frost or from a continued saturated condition of the soil.

(6) GROSS WEIGHTS Subject to the limitation imposed by the recommended axle loads no vehicle shall be operated whose total gross weight, with load, exceeds that given by the formula W-c(L plus 40) where W -total gross weight, with load, in pounds c-a coefficient to be determined by the individual States L=the distance between the first and last axles of a vehicle or comb­ bination of vehicles, in feet A value of 700 is recommended for "c" as the lowest which should be imposed but this should not be construed as inhibiting greater values. (NOTE) : This gross weight recommendation is particularly appli­ cable to bridges since axle loads •and length limitations are determina­ tive in their practical application.
