South Fallsburg, N.Y. (September 9, 2019) – Rolling V Bus Corp., a Sullivan County-based passenger transportation company, announced today that it has once again exceeded their annual New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Bus Inspection requirements with a 96.2% pass rate.
The New York State Department of Transportation requires all school bus fleets to be inspected twice a year and pass with a rate of 90% or higher. During the vehicle inspections, which were performed during the last State Fiscal Year (April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019), NYSDOT identified the number and percentage of vehicles that passed or were placed Out-of-Service (OOS) due to one or more OOS defects. Rolling V achieved a 3.8% OOS rate.
Superior performance during this inspection indicates a strong dedication to safety and commitment to maintenance standards and practices. Since the inception of this program in 1998, Rolling V buses have surpassed performance goals set by the state, continuing to garner praise for meticulous safety protocols.
“The safety and upkeep of our buses is a key concern for us,” said Phil Vallone, President of Rolling V. “We want provide our clients with safe and reliable service and receiving high scores from our New York State inspection reaffirms that we are doing just that.”
The Rolling V fleet is equipped with the latest low-exhaust emission technology, as well as modern safety features, including LED lighting that provides clearer visibility from the driver’s seat, and electronically controlled automatic crossing arms. Rolling V also recently equipped all of its buses with state-of-the art GPS technology software which provides on-board messaging to help drivers stay connected to their garage and schools.
