Private School Buses

All private motor vehicles used for the transportation of children to and from public and private schools, kindergartens, nursery schools and day care centers are considered private school buses. They must be inspected annually or semi-annually depending on seating capacity of the vehicle. Private school buses with a seating capacity of less than 24 must be inspected semi-annually, while those which seat 24 or more must be inspected annually. View a full text of the Private School Bus Ordinance.

The drivers of these vehicles must have a chauffeur's registration from the Consumer Services Department (CSD).
