WEST WARWICK, RI – Archway Bus Transportation Inc., the family-owned successor company to Rhode Island icon Pawtuxet Valley Bus Lines, recently earned the highest safety rating offered by the U.S. Department of Defense.

The rating is the result of an intensive, meticulous inspection of the charter motor coach company’s facilities, terminal and equipment by the Commercial Travel Division of the Defense Travel Management Office.

“We can’t do much to keep our troops safe overseas, but we can do everything in our power to keep them safe traveling between duty stations here,” Stephen Archambault, president of the luxury motor coach line, said in commenting on the award.
