This conference presentation focuses on recent activities at Greyhound examining motor coach operator fatigue. In November 2002, Greyhound engaged Alertness Solutions, a scientific consulting firm with extensive expertise and experience in creating real-world safety and performance solutions for 24/7 operators, to conduct a comprehensive review of its fatigue management practices and procedures. Their findings are summarized in this presentation. In April 2003, Greyhound initiated an Alertness Management Program in an effort to enhance safety and reduce fatigue-related risks within its operations. The program was implemented in collaboration with Alertness Solutions.
