DOD Certification

US Department of Defense (DOD) Safety designation

Motorcoach companies are given the opportunity to attempt to obtain the US Department of Defense (DOD) Safety designation. This designation requires that each DOD approved company undergoes the transportation industry's most stringent annual onsite safety inspection and audit.  This annual inspection carefully audits all areas of a company’s safe passenger transport service, including the company’s day-to-day operational practices, equipment maintenance, and ongoing driver education, drug-testing, and training.

As a matter of fact, there are over 3,800 registered motorcoach operators listed with the Department of Transportation throughout North America; and of that number, only 459 possess this DOD safety designation.  King Ward Coach Lines is among those four hundred plus motorcoach companies having achieved this level of “operational safety” certified by the US Department of Defense.
