2004 Report card for "The Status of Transportation Safety In Maine"
Yearly in Maine, there are more than 35,000 crashes resulting in over 200 deaths and tens of thousands of injuries with an economic impact of over $1,000,000,000. The Maine Transportation Safety Coalition (MTSC) wants everyone to acknowledge that crashes are predictable results of specific actions. By working together, we can have a significant impact in reducing the number of senseless tragedies that occur each day.

Pupil Transportation System Security - More Attention from Terrorists Demands More Attention from Us.
"The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services believes the pupil transportation industry must take security even more seriously. Complacency and the attitude that “it won’t happen here” sets the stage for terrorists to perpetrate their crimes. The State Directors Association’s previous efforts to “raise the awareness of security,” “offer guidance” and “recommend actions” in the areas of vigilance and system security were appropriate at the time. But times have changed."
