Bus Operator Safety and Security Act

Summary

The bill mandates that any new fixed‑route bus 30 feet or longer, with a useful life of ten years or more and purchased with federal funds, must be equipped with a floor‑to‑ceiling barrier around the operator’s workstation. The barrier must fully enclose the area, keep out people, fluids and objects, and not block the driver’s view outside. A labor organization representing the majority of front‑line workers can waive the requirement if it agrees.
