* Occasionally, school buses receive inspections at locations other then their terminal. This will result in some towns being displayed in a different county then they are in. Therefore, if a bus company does not appear in the county you would expect, please try searching adjacent counties.

There are three types of stickers:

Approval Sticker		30-day Rejection sticker		Out-of-service Sticker
Valid for six months once a bus passes a scheduled inspection		30 day rejection sticker for failure due to a less serious safety violation. Bus may be used for passenger transportation. All rejected items must be repaired and bus re-inspected within 30 days from date of initial inspection		Inspection failure due to a major safety violation. Bus cannot be used for passenger transportation until all violations are repaired
