Coach Bus Charters

OBTAINING A COACH CHARTER:  

Charter Bus

Coach charters are usually booked by a professional trip organizer  who is contacted by a BCSD club advisor or administrator.   Some charter companies have their own trip advisors.  

The Transportation Department usually communicates with the trip organizer, not the teacher or administrator organizing the trip on behalf of BCSD.

Transporting students on charter buses is highly regulated by New York State law.

Before allowing students to board a coach bus the Transportation department must::

  • ensure the charter company has adequate insurance           
  • ensure the charger company is 19A compliant
  • ensure the charger company provides abstracts for all drivers on a trip     
  • Conduct a bus inspection

A certificate of liability insurance.

A form for a motor carrier to file an annual affidavit of compliance with the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.

A document with a title "Abstract of Lifetime Driving Record".

A form for a private transportation for hire driver and vehicle inspection.
