Each school bus is equipped with air conditioning, seat belts and a global positioning system (GPS) unit. Of the 211 school buses, 51 of the buses have a wheel chair lift.
All school buses are inspected in accordance with the laws and rules of the State Board of Education, Florida Statutes Chapter 1006, Part I.e. Transportation of Children and Florida Administrative Code (FAC) Chapter 6A-3 Transportation.
