What is the School Bus Safety Management Regulation?
1 Answers
The School Bus Safety Management Regulation is established to ensure the personal safety of students, prevent accidents, provide effective solutions for school bus safety and development, enact specialized regulations for school bus safety management, and establish a legally binding and practical school bus safety management system to guarantee the safety of students commuting to and from school collectively. A school bus refers to a passenger vehicle with seven or more seats that has obtained a usage permit in accordance with this regulation and is used to transport compulsory education students to and from school. School buses for elementary students should be specially designed and manufactured according to national standards for dedicated school buses. Local people's governments at or above the county level shall, based on factors such as the number and distribution of students in their administrative regions, legally formulate and adjust school establishment plans to ensure students can attend nearby schools or boarding schools, thereby reducing transportation risks during commutes. The establishment and adjustment of compulsory education schools and their teaching sites should fully consider the opinions of parents and other relevant stakeholders.
