In 1988, the Safety Board investigated two commercial charter passenger intercity bus accidents involving groups en route to Atlantic City: one in Little Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, on July 23, and the other in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, on November 29. In the Little Egg Harbor Township accident, the busdriver lost control of the bus and it ran off the highway. In the Tinton Falls accident, the busdriver lost control of the bus and it overturned. Both accidents occurred on the Garden State Parkway; there was no fire or other vehicles involved, and a total of 95 passengers received minor to severe injuries. The Safety Board decided to focus on these accidents because of the common busdriver performance issues and because of the large number of buses serving Atlantic City. According to data from the Atlantic City County Transportation Authority, approximately 1,700 buses enter Atlantic City daily.
