摘要：	The Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA) mandated a study to determine the causes of, and factors contributing to, crashes involving commercial motor vehicles (CMV). The MCSIA directed the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to transmit the results of the study to Congress. In response, the DOT's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducted a three-year study of large truck crashes. The FMCSA transmitted a report to Congress on the Large Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS) in March 2006. This report to Congress provides the results of the Bus Crash Causation Study (BCCS). Faced with the challenges of acquiring a representative, national sample of bus crashes, FMCSA decided to collect crash data in northeastern New Jersey, which is part of the New York City metropolitan area and home to large fleets of various types of buses. The goal was to study 50 to 100 crashes in a year. However, the paucity of bus crashes resulting in fatalities or injuries revealed only 39 crashes involving fatalities or incapacitating injuries (category A) or non-incapacitating injuries (category B) in 2 years. Despite the small sample, BCCS is the largest in-depth comprehensive examination of bus crashes ever conducted.
