Abslract Simulation has become an increasinely important tool in driving research, highway research, and· vehicle design.\~\Th±srreport documents the results of an investigation into the feasibility of developing a driving simulator as a means of teaching safe driving and other operating techniques in the training of bus operators. During this investigation, an AdVisory Committee, consisting o,f representatives from small, medium, and large transit properties and from the American Transit Union, provided data on training programs, training costs, and training needs. The ~LrCIO Appala­ chian Council Research Department furnished the results of their survey on transit training needs and shared their experiences in developing and implementing a stand­ ards bus operator training program. Also, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority made their training data available and arrangedra tour of their training ~acilities. Features required of a driving simulator to meet training needs were identified, and the cost of implementing and operating such a simulator Were assessed This report describes the various types of simulators, the benefits of simulation, and the potential benefits of a driving simulator for transit training. This report also presents an evaluation of existing applicable driving simulators, the tradeoffs of developing costs and operational costs versus the effec.tiveness of the desired features, and current training programs~,This study concludes that due to the high costs of simulators with the required feathr.,es, it appears that no cost benefit would accrue with the use of such a simulator. The'refore, no training time savings and safety benefits could be documented to justify the use of a driving simulator for bus operator training. ~ , 17,. ·Key Words 18.

This year’s Outlook for the Intercity Bus Industry report draws attention to some of the industry’s changing fundamentals while also looking at notable developments anticipated this year and beyond. Our analysis evaluates the industry in six areas: i) The status of bus travel booking through January 2021; ii) Notable marketing and service developments of 2020; iii) The decline of the national bus network sold on greyhound.com that is relied upon by travelers on thousands of routes across the U.S.

Introduction Greyhound has a strong interest in creating and maintaining successful interline relationships with coordinated rural feeder services that are meaningful for customers and make sense for both Greyhound and the rural feeder service partner. This is demonstrated by the company’s efforts in: • Helping clarify and lower Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) insurance levels for rural transportation agencies • Creating a special National Bus Traffic Association (NBTA) “sponsored transit category” with minimal costs & hassles. NBTA is a non-profit revenue clearinghouse for interlined bus operators. • Effectively working one-on-one with rural transportation agencies to help them establish feeder services Greyhound initiated a service, called the Greyhound Rural Connection Program, in the late 1980’s. The program linked over 80 rural transit agencies in 17 states and added more than 800 communities to the intercity bus network. Many of those agencies continue to provide their customers with informal access to the nearest Greyhound terminal or station even today. But those efforts were limited by: • Insufficient Federal funding and support • Lack of a flexible ticketing solution • Sophisticated fare and schedule information technology As the 5311(f) program evolved from ISTEA to SAFETEA-LU, Federal funding and guidance has improved dramatically, flexible ticketing solutions now exist, and fare and schedule information technology has seen tremendous advances --- so much so that rural feeder services can now be effectively implemented and operated in meaningful ways for the traveling public.

  • William Emanuel Nomination for Member of the National Labor Relations Board” Hearing Date: July 13, 2017
    Questions for the Record “William Emanuel Nomination for Member of the National Labor Relations Board” Hearing Date: July 13, 2017 Questions for the Record from Ranking Member Patty Murray 1. What, in your view, is the mission of the agency to which you have been nominated? To enforce the National Labor Relations Act as enacted by Congress. 2. Do you believe that the purpose of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), enforced by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB or Board), is to encourage and protect workers’ rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining with their employers? If not, please describe in detail your views on the purpose of the NLRA and the Board. As stated in Section 1 of the NLRA, one purpose is “to eliminate the causes of certain substantial obstructions to the free flow of commerce and to mitigate and eliminate these obstructions when they have occurred by encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and by promoting the exercise by workers of full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment or other mutual aid or protection.” In 1947, the NLRA was amended to add several additional purposes: (1) “to prescribe the legitimate rights of both employees and employers in their relations affecting commerce,” (2) “to provide orderly and peaceful procedures for preventing the interference by either with the legitimate rights of the other,” (3) “to protect the rights of individual employees in their relations with labor organizations whose activities affect commerce,” (4) “to define and proscribe practices on the part of labor and management which affect commerce and are inimical to the general welfare,” and (5) “to protect the rights of the public in connection with labor disputes affecting commerce.” 1 3.
