Our bus safety bill would be another very important highway safety accomplishment that will help save lives.

Truck safety has improved significantly since FMCSA was established in 2000.

Safety belts actually would fall under NHTSA, not the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

There is still important work to be done in ensuring unsafe trucks, unsafe truck drivers, and unsafe trucking companies are not allowed to operate on the Nation's highways.

Unsafe carriers get into the system or get back on the system.

Many operators who are put out of business because of a safety violation just turn around and file under a new name.

I am very concerned that we have not done some pretty simple things that Senator Brown and I have introduced legislation to require, and that is safety and driver qualifications of motor coaches.

Safety is a unifying message, under Secretary LaHood's leadership.

We need the current Administration to mandate EOBRs on every large truck.

I share your concerns with respect to the safety issues that have been raised from the Inspector General's report.

I think it may be time for us to reform some portions of the operations of that agency.

I continue to press ahead with my own passion for safety.
