Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Grant of Exemption for Greyhound Lines, Inc.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announces its decision to grant an exemption to Greyhound Lines, Inc. (Greyhound) that will enable video event recorders to be mounted on its buses lower in the windshield than is currently permitted by the Agency's regulations. Greyhound requested the exemption so that it would be able to use the video event recorders to increase safety through (1) identification and remediation of risky driving behaviors such as distracted driving and drowsiness; (2) enhanced monitoring of passenger behavior; and (3) enhanced collision review and analysis. FMCSA believes that permitting these devices to be mounted lower than currently allowed, but still outside the driver's sight lines to the road and highway signs and signals, will maintain a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety achieved without the exemption.
