All pupil transport vehicles must have which of the following safety features?

• A. Interior light indicator
• B. Audible back up alarm
• C. Fire extinguisher with hose and rating of 2A10BC or greater
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

All pupil transport vehicles must be equipped with a range of safety features that cover visibility, warning, and fire protection. An interior light indicator helps the driver confirm that interior lighting is functioning, which aids supervising students during boarding and in low-light conditions. An audible back-up alarm warns pedestrians and others nearby whenever the bus is reversing, reducing the risk of back-up collisions in areas with students. A fire extinguisher with a hose and a 2A10BC or greater rating provides a ready means to control small vehicle fires and can be directed where needed thanks to the hose. Each feature addresses a different safety need, so having all of them ensures comprehensive protection.
