SALEM, Ohio — With group travel predicted to increase this year, travel planners are springing into action, making fall and winter travel plans. The U. S. Travel Association predicts a 2.1 percent increase in domestic leisure travel for 2016, and most will travel by motor vehicle.

As a result, many travel planners are taking advantage of the bus safety tools available from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). With more traffic during the busy holiday season, shorter days and unpredictable weather, it’s smart to give extra attention to the safety of travelers.

The FMCSA offers free bus safety information and a mobile app to help planners and passengers research bus safety. Through these programs, FMCSA has in the past year reached more than 25,000 travel planners who are responsible for more than 5 million motor coach trips annually.

The Saferbus app is an easy way to make sure the company you choose has a good safety history and is authorized to operate. To learn more and download the SaferBus app, visit www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety
