How often must vehicles that are under contract with the school district be inspected?

Vehicles under contract with a school district must be inspected semi-annually to ensure safety and reliability for the children transported. This frequency is established to maintain high standards of inspection for vehicles that carry students, as their safety is of utmost importance. Regular inspections help identify any mechanical issues or safety defects that could pose risks, allowing for timely repairs and maintenance.

This requirement reflects the understanding that school buses and other vehicles used for transporting students undergo higher scrutiny compared to regular consumer vehicles. Ensuring that these vehicles are inspected every six months provides an additional layer of assurance that they meet safety regulations and are in good operating condition.
