Kansas Highway Patrol
(KAIR)--As the start of the school year for Kansas school approaches, The Kansas State Highway Patrol will be working to ensure that students are kept safe on their travels to and from school.
Troopers will be checking all school buses in the state starting in mid July and working until school starts in mid August to make sure that each one can load, transport, and unload students as safely as possible. Officials will check to see if each vehicle has working lights, tires, emergency exits, and windshield wipers. They will also ensure that emergency spill kits and first aid kits are fully stocked.
Vehicles that do not comply with safety regulations cannot be used to transport students until all defects are corrected and a trooper rechecks the vehicle.
In 2014, the KHP inspected 10,779 school buses and other school vehicles for defects. Since 2010, the Patrol has inspected 52,035 school buses.
