Iowa Admin. Code r. 281-43.41 - [Effective until 5/22/2024] Trip inspections
(1) A
pretrip inspection of each school vehicle shall be performed and recorded prior
to each trip to determine if any defects or deficiencies exist that may affect
the safety of the vehicle's operation or result in its mechanical breakdown.
The pretrip inspection report shall be signed by the driver and submitted
promptly to the superintendent of schools, transportation supervisor, school
bus mechanic, or other person charged with the responsibility for the school
transportation program. Any defects or deficiencies that merit an OOS (out of
service) rating pursuant to department of education school bus inspection
guidelines must be repaired prior to use of the vehicle. All other defects or
deficiencies should be repaired as soon as possible but do not prohibit the use
of the vehicle.
(2) A posttrip
inspection of the interior of the school vehicle shall be performed after each
trip to ensure no passengers remain.
