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.
