Develop and implement, in conjunction with the American 
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials

Services Officials, criteria based on traffic patterns, 
passenger volume, and bus types that can be used to assess 
the risks of rural travel by large buses. Use these criteria 
as part of the SAFETEA-LU requirement to identify and select 
Highway Safety Improvement Program projects. (H-09-7)
