Lehane’s Bus Service, Inc. a school bus company out of New Castle, Delaware, was fined by The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) earlier this month for a number of dangerous conditions. They were issued a civil penalty notice of $83,120 for the alleged violations.
According the FMCSA, Lehane's employed at least one school bus driver who tested positive for controlled substances, failed to periodically and randomly screen drivers for controlled substances, operated vehicles without the federally required level of insurance, and failed to have their vehicles inspected for defects as required by federal law.
Lehane's violations were discovered as part of FMCSA's Operation Safe Student, a strike force initiative to remove unsafe buses from the roadways. Hopefully FMCSA will keep up the good work!
