Bendix (Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC and Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC) is proud to work with school districts and vehicle manufacturers across North America in pursuit of safer student transportation as NAPT marks National School Bus Safety Week Oct. 21-25. The theme of this year’s National School Bus Safety Week is “My School Bus – The Safest Form of Student Transportation.” The theme reflects National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data showing that the classic yellow school bus is 70 times safer than walking, bicycling, or riding in a passenger car or light truck to and from school. “Even so, a single school bus collision is one too many,” said TJ Thomas, director of marketing and customer solutions – Controls, at Bendix, the North American leader in the development and manufacture of intelligent, integrated active safety, air management, and braking solutions for commercial vehicles. “Bendix and all its industry partners are working tirelessly to help keep student passengers safe, and to support the school bus drivers who oversee their daily travels.” -more- BENDIX EFFORTS SUPPORT MAKING SCHOOL BUSES EVEN SAFER Oct.

  • Bus Proposition Date: February 3, 2016 Cc: Board of Education, Mark Premo
    INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: DR. JIM HOFFMAN, SUPERINTENDENT FROM: MICHAEL OUIMET, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT FOR BUSINESS SUBJECT: BUS REPLACEMENT PLAN/BUS PROPOSITION DATE: FEBRUARY 3, 2016 CC: BOARD OF EDUCATION, MARK PREMO I am recommending the district seek voter approval on May 17, 2016, to spend $749,044 to purchase eight (8) new transportation vehicles in alignment with the District’s bus replacement schedule. This schedule of bus replacements was recommended in the district’s transportation study completed in the Fall of 2010 by Transportation Advisory Services (TAS). Please see attached, the “Fleet” section of this report for your reference. The School Bus Proposition breaks down as follows: • $673,590: purchase of six, 65-passenger school buses @ $112,265 per bus • $100,254: for the purchase of two, 28-passenger school buses @ $50,127 per bus $773,844 ($24,800) Less: Trades of $24,800 for eight (8) buses. $749,044 Please see attached, the proposed specifications for the vehicles recommended to be purchased. TAS recommends a consistent replacement plan, requiring a bus purchase vote each year, because an annual replacement plan of the existing fleet helps the district to maintain student safety and control repair and maintenance costs on older buses. A well thought out bus replacement plan is more cost effective and enables the district to consolidate routes and adjust its fleet as needed year to year. The replacement plan will also support continuation of the District’s excellent safety record with the New York State Department of Transportation. Please find attached a current profile of the district’s bus fleet, including a projected replacement schedule.

  • School Bus Starters & Alternators
    School Bus Starters & Alternators SCHOOL BUSES PRESENT A UNIQUE SET OF CHALLENGES. A school bus performs the majority of its workday at slow speeds. At the same time, lighting and equipment associated with safety and passenger mobility add electrical loads that must be met at these same slow speeds. TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS THAT ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES Delco Remy high output alternators are specially designed to contend with the demanding electrical loads of school bus operating routines. Add to that the fuel savings opportunity, high 14.5 V temperature ratings and proven technologies like Remote Sense and you’ve got alternators in a class by themselves. 14.0 V Remote Sense Can Reduce Battery Charge Time by 50% The Delco Remy high output alternators are equipped with Remote With Remote Sense Sense which utilizes a second wire that reads the actual voltage at the battery. This signals the alternator to boost its output to compensate for the voltage drop, ensuring 14 volts at the battery. The proper voltage at the battery forces more current into the battery bringing the battery up to a full state of charge during the school bus runs between stops. 14.0 V Designed for Extreme Temperatures & Long Life No other school bus alternator on the market today can perform like the 13.5 V Delco Remy high output alternators. Both the 28SI and 40SI models withstand extreme underhood temperature demands of up to 257°F – that’s over 25°F above the competition – and still Without Remote Sense keep running. High-Efficiency Alternators Equals 20% Fuel Savings An Operating data was collected on school bus applications in order efficient alternator on a school bus can more than pay for itself in to identify what was actually occurring over the course of the less than one year.
