As part of Michigan’s School Bus Inspection Program, all public, private, parochial, charter school and academy vehicles taking children to or from school, or school-related events by law must be inspected annually by the state police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division.
Once inspected, a bright green sticker showing the MSP shield and the school calendar year is placed on the front windshield of the bus.
Colonel James Grady, director of the MSP says, “Anyone with a smart phone can scan a QR code displayed on the bus service door where students enter the bus. Every parent or guardian has instant access to the condition of the vehicle transporting your student.”
Approximately 17,000 vehicles transport more than 800,000 school children over 10 million miles each year in Michigan.
