School Bus Equipment 

To assure use of safe equipment, all school buses are inspected daily by the bus driver and annually by the Department of California Highway Patrol. In addition, each vehicle must be certified so that it meets all applicable regulations and laws relating to pupil transportation in the State of California. In addition, all of the buses are equipped with two-way radios.

 

California law does not require seat belts for bus passengers. However, if the vehicle is equipped, students will be required to wear them while riding the school bus. Seat belts are not to be unfastened until the bus has stopped at the proper destination. Safety vests are available for students unable to sit upright without the extra support.
