🏎️🏁 F1 weekend is almost here, and we’re making sure the buses are race-ready!
APD’s Commercial Vehicle Unit teamed up with law enforcement agencies from across Texas to inspect around 150 buses before the checkered flag waves. From brakes and tires to emergency equipment and driver credentials, we’re making sure buses are safe to transport fans around Austin during race weekend.
These inspections help catch potential safety issues before they become problems on the road, so F1 fans can focus on the race while we focus on getting them there safely! 🚌
