WASHINGTON, DC - Ke kapa ʻia nei ʻo ia ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa nui loa i nā hui kaʻa i hana ʻia e ka 'Oihana Hoʻokele, ua hoʻolaha ke Kakauolelo ʻo Ray LaHood i ka Pōʻalima ua pani ka ʻoihana i nā mea hana kaʻa kaʻa he 26 no ka uhaki ʻana i nā lula palekana federal.

Ua haʻi ʻo ia i nā hana i nā pōʻino i ka palekana o ka lehulehu.

Ua kauoha aku nā luna i "10 mau mea nona nā ʻoihana kaʻa kaʻa, nā luna a me nā limahana e hoʻōki i nā hana kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa āpau, ʻo ia hoʻi ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā tiketi kaʻa i nā poʻe kaʻa," i ʻōlelo ʻia e ke Keʻena ʻOihana.

"Ke lawe nei kēia mau mea hana ma luna o 1,800 mau mea kaʻa i ka lā, i luna a i lalo i ke alahele I-95 mai New York a i Florida," wahi a LaHood. "He lanakila kēia hana ʻino no ka palekana kaʻa a me ka poʻe e holo ana i kēia mau kaʻa."

Hoʻopili nā kauoha pani 26 i ʻeiwa mau ʻoihana ikaika, 13 mau ʻoihana i kauoha ʻia ma waho o ka lawelawe e hoʻomau nei e hana, ʻekolu mau hui e hoʻāʻo nei e noi no ka mana hana a hoʻokahi mea kūʻai tiketi, wahi a ke Keʻena ʻOihana.

Ua haʻi ʻia nā mea āpau, e hana ana nā hui ma waena o 30 a 35 mau kaʻa a hoʻokumu ʻia mai Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, New York, North Carolina a me Pennsylvania, e like me ka ʻoihana.

Hoʻopiʻi nā luna i ka hana ʻana o nā hui i nā kaʻa e pono ai ke hoʻoponopono, ʻaʻole i hoʻāʻo i nā mea hoʻokele no ka waiʻona a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau, ʻaʻole i kākau pono i nā hōʻailona olakino o nā mea hoʻokele, a mālama i nā mea hoʻokele ma hope o ka huila ma mua o nā palena kānāwai.

"E ala ka poʻe i kēlā me kēia lā a hoʻohana i nā ʻano kaʻa like ʻole me ka noʻonoʻo ʻole i ke kumu palekana, a ʻaʻole mākou makemake e hopohopo lākou i ka palekana o ke kaʻa a lākou e holo ai a i ke ala nui a lākou e holo ai," wahi a LaHood. .

Ua hoʻomaka ʻia ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ma hope o ke ʻano o nā ulia kaʻa make a ʻo ia ka hopena o ka hoʻokolokolo hoʻokahi makahiki e ka Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, ka lima o ka Transportation Department i hana i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka palekana kaʻa.

Ma ka lā 31 o Mei, 2011, hoʻokahi makahiki a hiki i ka lā ma mua o ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka Pōʻalima, ʻehā mau ohua i make a he 53 mau mea ʻē aʻe i hōʻeha ʻia i kahi ulia kaʻa kaʻa Virginia. Ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe noiʻi no ka luhi ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka mea hoʻokele ʻo Kin Yiu Cheung i kumu i holo ai ke kaʻa mai ke alanui a huli. Ua kū ʻo Cheung i ʻehā mau helu o ka pepehi kanaka ʻole a ua manaʻo ʻia e hele i ka hoʻokolokolo ma Iune 25, wahi a ke kākau ʻōlelo ʻo Caroline County Virginia.

"ʻO ka ulia a me nā pōʻino make ʻē aʻe e like me ka mea i hana ʻia ma ka I-95 i ka makahiki i hala ua alakaʻi i kā mākou ʻoihana e hana i kēia hoʻokolokolo hoʻokahi makahiki i ʻike ʻole ʻia i nā hui kaʻa kaʻa ʻino a me ke kānāwai e hana ʻino ana i kā mākou mau kūlana palekana," ʻo Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrator Anne. Ua haʻi aku ʻo Ferro i nā mea hoʻolaha.

Ma kahi ulia hou, aia ʻo Ophadell Williams, 40, ma hope o ka huila o kahi kaʻa kaʻaahi i hāʻule i kahi pale alanui ma New York, a make 15 mau mea kaʻa. Ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana, ua hōʻike ka luna nui o ka mokuʻāina o New York ʻaʻole pono e hāʻawi ʻia iā Williams ka laikini kaʻa kaʻa ʻoihana, akā ua hiki ke loaʻa iā ia ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā inoa hoʻopunipuni a me nā ʻike hoʻopunipuni.

Ua ʻōlelo ka ʻōlelo a ka ʻOihana Hoʻokele, ua pāpālua ia i ka helu o nā mākaʻikaʻi kaʻa o nā hui kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa i manaʻo ʻia he 4,000, mai 12,991 i 2005 a i 28,982 i 2011.

Ua pani ʻo Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration i ʻekolu mau hui mua - Apex Bus Inc., I-95 Coach Inc. a me New Century Travel Inc. - nāna i mālama i kahi ʻoihana ākea o nā hui kaʻa ʻē aʻe.

"Ma ke kaʻina o kā mākou noiʻi ʻana ua loaʻa i kā mākou hui hoʻokō i nā hiʻohiʻona he nui o ka hōʻino ʻia e nā ʻoihana ʻekolu o nā ʻoihana," wahi a Ferro. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua loaʻa nā ʻoihana i nā loopholes a hoʻi hou i ke ala ma hope o ka pani ʻana o nā luna iā lākou.

ʻO ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana i nā ʻoihana hewa i hoʻopiʻi ʻia e ka American Bus Association, kahi hui kālepa e hōʻike ana i nā hui kaʻa kaʻa a me nā hui kaʻa kaʻaahi.

ʻO nā hana a ke keʻena "ʻoi aku ma mua o ka nānā ʻana i ke alanui, a kākoʻo nui ʻo ABA i kēia mau ʻano hana hoʻokō kānāwai. E hoʻomau mākou i ke kākoʻo (ke keʻena), a ke koi nei mākou i kā mākou mau lālā e hana i ka pae kiʻekiʻe o ka palekana, "i ʻōlelo ai ka Pelekikena Peter Pantuso i ka ʻōlelo.

ʻO nā kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa no ʻAmelika, e lawe ana i ka nui o nā poʻe i kēlā me kēia makahiki e like me nā mokulele ʻoihana. Ma kahi o 750 miliona mau kaʻa e holo ai i nā kaʻa kaʻa a me nā kaʻa kaʻaahi i kēlā me kēia makahiki, ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me 800 miliona mau kaʻa ma nā mokulele, e like me ka ʻōlelo a ka American Bus Association Dan Ronan.

I Malaki, ua hoʻolaha ka 'Oihana Hoʻokele i kahi papahana hou, "E nānā i mua o kou puke," a me kahi polokalamu kelepona e hiki ai i nā mea hoʻohana ke komo i nā moʻolelo palekana o kahi kokoke i 6,000 mau mea lawe kaʻa kalepa interstate. Aia nā moʻolelo i ka ʻikepili palekana a me ka nānā ʻana e pili ana i nā laina kaʻa kaʻa pilikino, nā kaʻa kula a me nā mea hoʻokele kaʻa kaʻaahi.

No ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka app, hiki i nā mea kaʻa ke ʻimi i ka hui kaʻa a i ʻole ka helu hoʻopaʻa inoa o ka hui. Hōʻike ka ʻike i hāʻawi ʻia e ka app i ka mea nona ke kaʻa a me ka moʻolelo palekana o ka hui kaʻa.

Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi loiloi o ka app i nā hui e pili ana i ka hoʻolaha o ka Pōʻalima "ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia e hana."

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

“People get up every day and use a lot of different forms of transportation without thinking about the safety factor, and we don’t want them to worry about the safety of the bus they ride on or the highway they drive on,”.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻia ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ma hope o ke ʻano o nā ulia kaʻa make a ʻo ia ka hopena o ka hoʻokolokolo hoʻokahi makahiki e ka Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, ka lima o ka Transportation Department i hana i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka palekana kaʻa.
Ua ʻōlelo ka ʻōlelo a ka ʻOihana Hoʻokele, ua pāpālua ia i ka helu o nā mākaʻikaʻi kaʻa o nā hui kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa i manaʻo ʻia he 4,000, mai 12,991 i 2005 a i 28,982 i 2011.
