The Missouri Highway Patrol released the 2024 school bus inspection program results.
Hollister R-V School District once again received 100%.
Missouri’s 2024 school bus inspection results are as follows:
School buses rated as “approved” upon initial inspection: 10,055
School buses rated as “defective” upon initial inspection: 895
School buses rated as “out-of-service” upon initial inspection: 410
Buses with identified defective components require repair within ten days. Buses placed out of service require correction of the component(s), reinspection and a return to service by Patrol personnel before further use in transporting passengers.
Two hundred sixty-two Missouri school districts earned the Patrol’s Total Fleet Excellence award for 2024. During the 2024-2025 school year, 4,931 buses in these award-winning fleets are eligible to display the Patrol’s Total Fleet Excellence sticker in the lower corner of the first window on the passenger entry side of the bus.
”Through the unified effort of Missouri State Highway Patrol personnel and pupil transportation professionals statewide, the successful inspection of 11,360 school buses occurred in accordance with Missouri revised state statutes,” said Colonel Olson. “The Patrol, Missouri schools, and private pupil transportation companies share the common goal of keeping our schoolchildren safe while they travel on school buses.”
