Reported by the companyMay 14, 2026: 80 vehicles in all: 17 motorcoaches, 48 buses with 16 or more seats, 10 vans of 9 to 15 seats, and 4 limousines of 9 to 15 seats. 118 drivers, 103 of them with a commercial license.

Why the numbers differ: only vehicles that met an inspector or a crash report appear on the records. Virginia doesn’t inspect every bus each year the way California does.
