Transportation Alternatives created the U.S.-Slovene joint venture company, TAM-USA, which coordinated and directed the design of a European-manufactured school/activity bus and a luxury tour coach for the North American market. This effort included TA's direction of an interdisciplinary User Design Committee, integration of U.S./SAE and European components, and preparation of Product Acceptance Standards. TA also prepared technical specifications, and evaluated the products and production capabilities of international bus manufacturers. For more information, see:
