These guidelines provide manufacturer recommendations, industry standards and best practices which are consistent with the Colorado Minimum Standards Governing School Transportation Vehicles, 1 CCR 301-25 and the Colorado Rules for the Operation, Maintenance and Inspection of School Transportation Vehicles 1 CCR 301-26. This publication is intended to serve as a transportation provider resource toward compliance with legislation and regulations.

The CDE Transportation Unit shall be responsible for administering and monitoring this inspection program to ensure compliance. This guide is structured to provide the information, form instruction, and criteria for operating a comprehensive Vehicle Inspection Program. Along with program requirements, this guide contains information for record keeping, forms for reporting and recording the inspections, and procedures for inspecting the various vehicle components/systems. This guide should clarify many of the gray areas that occur when operating a Vehicle Inspection Program. However, this guide will not answer all technical or interpretive questions nor will it eliminate the need for trained personnel to exercise professional judgment when performing vehicle inspections. The emphasis of ALL vehicle inspections is "SAFETY" and in every case, the districts, charter schools, certified outside inspection sites, and inspectors must exercise judgment to ensure the greatest degree of safety for vehicle operators, passengers, and other motorists. Resources used in the preparation of this guide are as follows: • 1 CCR 301-25 Colorado Minimum Standards Governing School Transportation Vehicles • http://www.cde.state.co.us/transportation/1ccr301-252015 National Standards for School Buses and Operations http://www.nasdpts.org/ncstonline/Documents/NCST%202015%20Specifications %20and%20Procedures%2011.1.16.pdf • Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2011-title49-vol6/pdf/CFR-2011-title49- vol6-part571.pdf • Service and Repair Manuals from various school bus body and chassis manufacturers' • Other Industry Standards for Maintenance and Repair Procedures State Statute: Colorado law provides for the State Board of Education to adopt and enforce regulations governing the safe operation of school buses used for the transportation of students pursuant to Sections 22-51-107, 22-51-108 and 42-4- 1904 C.R.S.

    Electrifying Medium-Duty Vehicles in Minnesota Capstone Paper In Partial Fulfillment of the Master's Degree Requirements The Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs The University of Minnesota Christov Churchward, Jacob Herbers, Ben Picone, Drew Turro Client: Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Capstone Instructor: Fred Rose Date of Oral Presentation: 5/6/2019 Approval Date of Final Paper: 1 Executive Summary State of the Market Medium-duty electric vehicles (MDEVs) are still in the early stages of adoption across the U.S. Cost- parity on the initial purchase price of these vehicles relative to their conventional counterparts is not expected until the mid-2020s. A lack of organizational experience operating and maintaining EVs and a dearth of charging infrastructure present challenges to the early deployment of all types of EVs. Furthermore, most test cases for MDEVs are in California, whose warmer climate makes it difficult to draw accurate operational comparisons to Minnesota. Despite this, manufacturers are entering the market and providing a greater variety of vehicle choices. The number of class three through six (5-13 tons) electric vehicles on the market increased by a factor of six from 2013 to 2018, going from four to 24. Utilities, recognizing customer demand for EVs, are developing specialized programs and electricity rates for their customers to keep the costs of EV charging low. Furthermore, MDEVs operate with half the fuel cost per mile versus a comparable diesel vehicle. For fleet owners able and willing to take on the

    News Release For further information, please contact: Barbara Gould or Ken Kesegich Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC Marcus Thomas LLC (440) 329-9609 (888) 482-4455 [email protected] [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BENDIX EFFORTS SUPPORT MAKING SCHOOL BUSES EVEN SAFER National School Bus Safety Week Puts Spotlight on the Safest Form of Student Transportation ELYRIA, Ohio – Oct. 22, 2019 – The National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT) has its eyes on a school year free of student transportation fatalities – and advanced vehicle safety technologies are a key to reaching that goal. 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.

Each conference has resulted in one or more publications that contain the recommendations of that particular conference. The recommendation of specifi cations and procedures for school buses and their operation has been a major purpose of all conferences. The 1939 Conference was called for this sole purpose and formulated a set of recommended standards for school buses of 20 or more passengers.
