This report outlines the results of a study that addressed the road safety record of the Australian bus industry. Bus safety has been benchmarked against other modes and countries to identify possible areas of concern. Safety initiatives were identified both domestically and abroad and their relevance explored. The primary objectives of the study were to identify critical safety-related bus issues, further refine information requirements, explore possible countermeasures, and to provide a basis for consultation with stakeholders.
