When is the CHP inspection of SPAB buses required to be approved?

The requirement for CHP inspection of School Pupil Activity Buses (SPAB) to be approved is set to occur every 13 months. This timeframe ensures that the buses are regularly evaluated for safety and compliance with regulations, which is crucial for the protection of students being transported.

Annually and every 12 months would imply a strict yearly inspection, which does not account for the specific regulations that allow for a slightly longer review period. Conversely, 14 months is beyond the required timeframe, indicating a delay in inspections that could jeopardize student safety. The 13-month standard strikes a balance between maintaining safety standards and providing logistical flexibility for transportation programs.
