Lamers Bus Lines, Inc. has been built on a foundation of strong principles that include always offering the best in value, service, quality and safety … always! In recognition of their dedication to one of the basic ideals promoted by the International Motor Coach Group, Inc. (IMG), Lamers Bus Lines has been presented the IMG 2012 Safety Award.

The IMG Safety Award was presented to Lamers Bus Lines on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012, at the IMG’s recent Maintenance and Safety Conference in Grapevine, Texas. The award is presented annually to the company within the IMG organization who has demonstrated the highest level of safety throughout their organization. “Lamers not only meets the highest level of federal, state and location regulations, but goes above and beyond implementing company safety measures that insures their employees and customers experience the safest work and transportation experience”, said IMG’s Director of Member Services and Purchasing, Mike Mattison.

In Fall 2010, Lamers purchased a driver training simulator in a custom motor coach to further their driver educational programs. The mobile simulator is designed to give drivers the skills they need to become safer, more confident, and better prepared behind the wheel, the simulator helps drivers become familiar with navigating an up to 45-foot vehicle through traffic, mountains, and inclement weather, while simulating situations that may occur on the road.
The IMG membership consists of the United States’ and Canada’s (52+) most elite motor coach companies. Lamers is a longtime, exclusive member of the IMG, meeting stringent safety, driver training, quality and cleanliness, customer service and reputation standards. IMG staff monitors and conducts quality checks on its members to ensure compliance of the standards.

IMG Headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas maintains insurance, Department of Transportation, Department of Defense and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration documents on each member. Activity is also observed by independent Alliance Members who work in the insurance and vehicle safety consulting industry.
