Bus Firms Cleared to Maintain Control Under Federal Oversight
Published Date: 12/23/2025
Notice
Summary
Van Pool Transportation LLC and AG Van Pool Holdings want to keep control of their two bus companies, Rolling V Bus Corp. and STS of New Mexico, as these companies become federally regulated. The government is giving a thumbs-up unless someone objects by February 6, 2026. This means the companies can keep running smoothly without any ownership changes, starting February 7, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Ownership Stays the Same for Two Bus Lines
Van Pool Transportation LLC and AG Van Pool Holdings have been tentatively approved to continue owning Rolling V Bus Corp. (New York) and STS of New Mexico, LLC (New Mexico). If no one files an opposing comment by February 6, 2026, the approval becomes final on February 7, 2026 and ownership will not change.
Plans to Add Limited Interstate Charter Service
Rolling V (New York) and STS (New Mexico) are seeking Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration approval to expand their charter operations to include interstate trips. Applicants say any interstate service would be an insignificant portion of the carriers' overall service and would supplement existing home-to-school services.
Applicants Say No Higher Charges or Big Employee Impacts
Applicants state their continuance in control of Rolling V and STS will not increase fixed charges and will not cause measurable increases in staff size, pay, or benefits. They also say services should improve through operating efficiencies.
Possible Control of 23 Carriers if Lavdas Approved
Applicants note that if no opposing comments are filed in a related docket, their prior acquisition of Lavdas Limousines would stand and they would control 23 interstate passenger motor carriers as of January 27, 2026.
