El programa fue desarrollado originalmente debido a la construcción del Tren Urbano y la eventual creación de la Alternativa de Transporte Integrado (ATI), desarrollada para crear un sistema de transporte colectivo integrado en la Zona Metropolitana de San Juan. Teniendo en cuenta que la integración intermodal efectiva es un aspecto esencial para el éxito de ATI, y entendiendo que el Tren Urbano como troncal del sistema integrado tiene sentido sólo en la medida en que otros modos de transporte se integren a éste (Viqueira, 2001) se propone evaluar la estación Bayamón de Tren Urbano como un caso de estudio de integración intermodal. Se ha seleccionado la estación Bayamón por ser una estación terminal de la troncal, además de ser punto de convergencia de modos de transportación colectiva en el centro urbano de Bayamón y ser la estación con el mayor número de pasajeros proyectados (DTOP, 1995).

All congresses (referred to as “conferences” before 2005) have been made up of offi cial representatives of state departments of education, public safety, motor vehicles, and police or other state agencies having state-wide responsibilities for the administration of student transportation; local school district personnel; contract operators; advisors from industry; and representatives from other interested professional organizations and groups. Each conference has resulted in one or more publications that contain the recommendations of that particular conference. The recommendation of specifi cations and procedures for school buses and their operation has been a major purpose of all conferences. The 1939 Conference was called for this sole purpose and formulated a set of recommended standards for school buses of 20 or more passengers.

  • South Carolina Guidelines for the Seating of Preschool-Aged Children in School Buses
    South Carolina Guidelines for the Seating of Preschool-Aged Children in School Buses Introduction Each year an increasing number of preschool-aged children are bused to public schools, including charter school programs. As always, safety is the number one concern of school transportation providers. To assure the safety of preschool-aged students on school buses, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently conducted crash testing of preschool-sized dummies in school bus seats. The test results indicated that preschool-aged children are safest when transported in a child safety restraint system (CSRS) that meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 213, “Child Restraint Systems,” and that is correctly attached to the school bus bench seat. Based on its research, in February 1999 NHTSA released the Guideline for the Safe Transportation of Pre-school Age Children in School Buses (hereinafter referred to as the NHTSA Guidelines). The NHTSA Guidelines and other information are contained within the South Carolina Guidelines for Seating of Preschool-Aged Children in School Buses. The purpose of the South Carolina Guidelines for Seating of Preschool-Aged Children in School Buses is to convey the NHTSA Preschool Seating Guidelines (appendix A); provide clarification and interpretation of the NHTSA Guidelines; and provide additional background and State Department of Education recommendations to districts regarding technical and operational issues associated with transporting preschool- aged students, including a. definitions of terms, b. applicable standards and rules, c. South Carolina Statutes, d. South Carolina State Board of Education Regulations, e. technical procedures for equipping of buses to transport preschool-aged students, f.

  • Buscon 2014 in Indianapolis • IBP Industries – 27 Years of Experience with Body Parts for Buses and Pretty Much Anyone Using Mid-Size Buses for Transporting People
    National Bus Trader The Magazine of Bus Equipment for the United States and Canada Volume XXXVII, No. 12 November, 2014 Serving the bus industry since 1977. Visit us at www.busmag.com. • BusCon 2014 In Indianapolis • IBP Industries – 27 Years of Experience With Body Parts for Buses and pretty much anyone using mid-size buses for transporting people. This 19th annual event was noteworthy because the location moved to Indianapolis after several years at Chicago’s Navy Pier. The reason for the continued Midwest loca- tion is obvious. A significant percentage of the body builders are located in northern Indiana and several of the automotive sup- pliers are located in Michigan. In our case the drive was longer but accommodations were easier to deal with. I would also add that the traffic was easier to deal with in Indi- anapolis. Some people who flew in men- tioned that it was more difficult getting flights to Indianapolis than to Chicago. A few people reported driving through rain on Monday to get to the show. How- ever, the weather was generally good on Tuesday and Wednesday when the show was in progress. A new record was set with 65 vehicles on the show floor. In addition, at least another 10 were outside. Floor traffic on Tuesday, the first day of the show, was very heavy and made photography difficult. At least a few attendees echoed my com- ment of “So many buses, so little time” in thinking that extending the show beyond nine hours would give us more time to look at the huge display of buses.
