Are childcare centers required to use school buses to transport children?
Yes. Recently, interpretations of school bus laws have been extended to any group that regularly transports children to and from school or school-related activities. It is a violation of federal law for a new car dealer to sell a van to anyone who will transport children to and from school or school-related activities. Some states specifically require childcare centers and private schools to use school buses. Contact your state officials or your insurance carrier for more information and to determine if this law applies to your business.
