Our school bus safety inspection checklist helps transportation managers and bus drivers conduct vehicle evaluations to ensure student safety. This template covers exterior, interior, and mechanical inspections, addressing critical safety components required by transportation authorities.
As the National Safety Council reports, approximately 71% of deaths in school bus-related crashes involve occupants of other vehicles, so it’s critical to maintain buses in peak operating condition. When you need to standardize inspections across multiple drivers with varying experience levels, this checklist provides the consistency and documentation needed to improve safety compliance.
