Title: Bus Testing: Updating Testing Procedures 
Abstract: This rulemaking would have amended FTA´s bus testing procedures to more accurately reflect passenger loads by updating the average passenger weight to incorporate recent statistical data. This action would have affected those transit bus manufacturers who may need to upgrade vehicle components or modify vehicle configurations to better accommodate heavier weight loads. The agency has withdrawn the NPRM and will move forward with a new rulemaking action.
