How can I tell if a bus meets NHTSA’s school bus safety standards?
Look for the certification label on the bus, usually located on the door near the driver’s seat. If the bus meets NHTSA’s school bus standards, it states: “This vehicle conforms to all applicable U.S. Federal motor vehicle safety standards in effect on the date of manufacture shown above” and states “school bus” (not simply “bus”) as the vehicle classification.
