206-20 Wyo. Code R. §§ 20-6 - Transportation Fleet Requirements

(a) The number of student transportation vehicles in a school district's fleet shall not be increased above the fleet size existing as of February 1, 2019. The size of a school district's fleet shall be reviewed and adjusted if necessary, if the school district's ADM changes by five percent (5%) or more over a three-year period or a special circumstance necessitates a change. Justification for a change must be provided to the Department for consideration.

(b) School district fleet vehicles reaching the replacement life cycle in years or miles, shall be subject to replacement. The following life cycles shall apply to all student transportation vehicles:

Bus Type	Years	Miles
A	15	215,000
C	17	240,000
D	17	240,000
MPV	15	200,000

(c) School districts may replace a vehicle before the replacement life cycle if:

(i) The vehicle is a total loss as a result of an accident; or

(ii) The vehicle is considered in severe service and is not cost effective to keep in the fleet.

(A) Severe service is determined by appropriate documentation showing estimated repairs or actual repairs during a three-year period total more than 30% of the base price of a replacement vehicle.

(B) The condition must substantially impair the vehicle's use or produce a serious safety hazard.

(C) Routine maintenance, warranty work, and school district labor costs shall not be included in the cost of repairs.

(d) A school district may keep a vehicle in the fleet and continue to claim reimbursement after its replacement life cycle use limit if it is still considered safe, cost effective, and in adequate condition to transport students.

(e) Vehicles shall be replaced with a like type and size. A school district may request a different type or size of vehicle and options to be considered during the approval process.
