Pennsylvania law requires school buses to undergo an annual inspection by the Pennsylvania State Police to ensure compliance with safety regulations. Once approved, a certificate of inspection must be prominently displayed on the vehicle. The law aims to promote the safety of school children during transportation.
The Pennsylvania State Police are responsible for inspecting school buses annually before they operate for transporting school children.
A certificate of inspection and approval is issued, which must be prominently displayed on the vehicle while in operation.
Yes, school buses may be subject to other inspections required by law or regulations, but the State Police inspection is mandatory annually.
Operating a school bus without a valid inspection certificate or without displaying it as required is a violation of law and can result in penalties.
