  1. On an air-brake school bus, at or before what pressure must the low-air warning device activate?

    Answer: 60 psi

    The low-air warning must activate before air pressure falls below 60 psi.

  2. Which federal standards cover the performance and installation of wheelchair platform lifts on lift-equipped school buses?

    Answer: FMVSS 403 and 404

    FMVSS 403 covers platform lift systems, and FMVSS 404 covers their installation in motor vehicles.

  3. What is the standard securement configuration for a wheelchair on a school bus?

    Answer: A four-point tiedown for the chair plus a separate lap-and-shoulder belt for the occupant

    Best practice and the national specifications call for a four-point chair tiedown and a separate occupant restraint.

  4. A district is moving part of its fleet to propane autogas. Which maintenance-shop requirement is most important to plan for?

    Answer: Proper ventilation and gas detection, plus technician training on pressurized fuel systems

    Gaseous fuels need facility safety measures such as ventilation and detection, plus technicians trained on pressurized systems.

  5. What fire extinguisher do the national school transportation specifications commonly call for on a school bus?

    Answer: A 5 lb dry chemical extinguisher with at least a 2A:10BC rating

    The specifications call for at least a 5 lb dry chemical extinguisher rated 2A:10BC, mounted in view of the driver.

  6. Fleet telematics show several buses idling 40 minutes a day at schools. What is the best supervisory response?

    Answer: Enforce an anti-idling policy with driver training and telematics monitoring

    Anti-idling policies cut fuel cost, engine wear, and student exposure to diesel exhaust, and telematics lets you verify compliance.

  7. A diesel bus that runs only short, low-speed routes keeps showing diesel particulate filter warnings. What is the most likely cause?

    Answer: Too little exhaust heat for passive regeneration, so soot builds up

    Short, low-speed duty cycles don't get the exhaust hot enough to burn off soot, so the filter needs forced or parked regeneration.
