Student Bus Safety
- October is Bus Safety Month. Annually we hold an interactive safety program for grades K-4. This program is led by the Bus Safety Team.
-
Each of our vehicles is subject to a thorough New Jersey MVC inspection twice a year. These inspections are conducted on-site and are school-vehicle-specific.
- Drivers must conduct a complete pre-trip inspection each time a vehicle is placed into service. This inspection, as mandated by New Jersey State Statue, is required prior to using any vehicle. Zonar technology is utilized in logging pre-trip and post-trip daily. Any vehicle that is found to be deficient during these pre-trip inspections is immediately placed out of service until such time as a mechanic can correct the deficiency.
- All vehicles are routinely maintained during the school year according to a regular schedule as established by our Head Mechanic.
The district’s mechanics do a thorough maintenance check of all vehicles during the summer months in preparation for the opening of school in September. - All drivers are made aware of those pupils who have been identified by school medical personnel as having a special medical need.
- All vehicles go through an inspection twice a year through the State of NJ - Motor Vehicle Division. Our inspections are done in September and March of every year.
- Each vehicle is equipped with a two-way radio in case of an emergency. If a vehicle breaks down, a new bus is supplied within a short period of time.
- Each vehicle completes several routes each day and whereas there is no area within the district's transportation department to accommodate lost items, all lost and found is maintained on the individual bus where the item was found.
