L – 010Can children be on the bus for more than one hour when being transported to and from dental and medical services?
Yes. Dental and medical services are considered incidental trips. Incidental trips such as might be required to transport small groups of children to and from necessary services are excluded under the definition of Transportation Services (45 CFR 1310.3). However, programs are encouraged to use the safest mode of transportation available; i.e. school buses or allowable alternate vehicles, whenever children are in transport. Programs should make every attempt to minimize time spent in transit for children. Requirement 45 CFR 1310.
