With an aim to avoid unfortunate accidents and ensure child safety at school, the CBSE Board along with the Supreme Court of India structured strict and comprehensive school transport guidelines for the educational institutions, affiliated with the Board, to follow. The new revised school bus rules and regulations (2021) mandate implementation of a GPS tracking device, CCTV surveillance camera system and Speed governors in the vehicles.
Besides equipping the school buses / vans with GPS tracker, security cameras and speed monitor, the CBSE Board made it compulsory for the management to include attendants and escorts inside the vehicles; and advised administrators to utilise reliable modern transportation software to manage buses and track activities of drivers and staff.
