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/1ccr15 • 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 Page 7 of 54 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.

  • 1 2021 Electric Truck & Bus Update, Part 2
    2021 Electric Truck & Bus Update, Part 2: Buses By John Benson September 2021 1. Introduction This is Part 2 and focuses on buses. Battery-electric buses are being deployed more rapidly that medium and heavy battery-electric trucks, mainly because of federal and state incentives. A major consideration, especially for electric utility professionals, is that battery-electric buses take a huge amount of energy to charge them. Also many of these vehicles will perform depot recharging en masse. This will be mostly overnight in transit depots. These facilities are currently not prepared for the massive load increase as their vehicles transition to electric operation. The flowing is a description of and link to part 1 of this series: https://energycentral.com/c/ec/2021-electric-truck-bus-update-part-1-trucks The following was the last paper on this subject, which was posted in January. Electric Refuse Trucks & Battery-Electric Buses: This post is a review of both of these two-vehicle types and considerations as they electrify. https://energycentral.com/c/cp/electric-refuse-trucks-battery-electric-buses Section 2 of this report will describe all major manufacturers of buses, their offerings and any new developments by those firms. Section 3 will describe how fleet managers can evaluate and remedy the overload risk described above. 2. Buses A few of the big players in the large-to-medium truck market are also players in the bus market – see the first two below, for instance (see part 1 of this series for truck models for these two manufacturers). Also the third firm below is not only the largest player in the bus market, and a technology leader, but is starting to spin their technologies off into other markets, including trucks 2.1.

  • 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.

  • Viability and Opportunities of School Bus Electrification in Massachusetts
    Clean Ride to School: Viability and Opportunities of School Bus Electrification in Massachusetts by Paola Massoli An Independent Research Capstone in the Field of Sustainability and the Environmental Management For the fulfillment of a Master’s in Liberal Arts at the Harvard University Extension School August 21, 2020 1 Abstract The iconic Yellow Bus system is the largest form of mass transit in the United States, comprising 480,000 buses that carry 25 million children to school every day. And it mostly runs on diesel. Due to the recognized toxicity of diesel exhaust, there have been substantial efforts to deploy cleaner forms of transportation for school children. Over the last 20 years, diesel engine retrofits have significantly reduced air pollutant emissions from heavy-duty vehicles, and alternative fuels such as liquified petroleum gas (LPG) promise to cut such emissions even further. However, none of these technologies eliminates air pollution or the greenhouse gases (GHG) that drive climate change, the greatest global environmental, economic and social threat of our times. Electric school buses offer a solution to address both climate and air quality concerns by eliminating tailpipe emissions, with the additional promise of long-term economic returns due to fuel savings and low maintenance costs. Electric school buses are being deployed at increasing pace, but they are still considered an emerging technology. This project seeks to validate the claims of lifetime cost competitiveness of electric school buses vis a vis the more conventional diesel and LPG vehicles. A total cost of ownership (TCO) model is created to assess under which conditions electric school buses are a favorable technology.

  • 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.
