Back to School: The importance of Bus Fleet Repairs

Here at Middleton & Meads, our mechanics are well trained to perform bus repairs for all makes and models. Best of all we perform bus repairs at an affordable price.
In the United States of America there are roughly 450,000 school buses on the road every school year. The school transportation industry spends more than $15 billion dollars a year on bus maintenance.
It’s important that buses are up to date on bus repairs because bus fleets transport more than 25,000,000 million children to and from school. More than 50 percent of students K-12 are school bus transportation passengers.
What are the top concerns for school bus transportation safety?
A good school bus paint job. Yes, a paint job is important because school bus fleets should have uniform look to help children recognize them nationwide. Yellow is a color students and parents alike can recognize in any bad weather condition, including fog. If your bus fleet has a good paint job, you will help improve the safety of students no matter the geographic location.
High quality seat belts. The average school bus can safely transport two high school age students or three young children per bus seat unit. No children should seat in the bus aisle or sit partially in a seat. Our mechanics can repair any inadequate seat-belts for your bus fleet.
