Analysis Prepared by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation
STATUTORY AUTHORITY: s. 110.06(2)
STATUTE INTERPRETED: s. 110.06(2)
General Summary of Emergency Rule. Chapter Trans 300 regulates the transportation of school children in Wisconsin. Currently, this chapter has specific requirements for the thickness of metal used in the school bus manufacturing process, specifically, construction of the floor and rub rails. The Department proposes to allow alternative school bus construction material. To keep the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) at or below 10,000 lbs., the revision would allow “other metal or material with strength at least equivalent to all-steel as certified by the bus body manufacturer.” Without the proposed changes for the 10,000 lb. GVWR or less school buses, schools will start using alternative vehicles (production vans) because of the unavailability of the smaller school buses built to the safer school bus standards.
Fiscal Estimate
The Department estimates that there will be no fiscal impact on the liabilities or revenues of any county, city, village, town, school district, technical college district, sewerage district, or any federally-recognized tribes or bands. The amendments to this rule will allow bus operators to purchase the smaller school buses needed for the full school year. There will be no cost increase to the Department to inspect these buses.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Anlaysis
This proposed rule will have no adverse impact on small businesses.
Copies of Rule and Contact Person
Copies of this emergency rule are available without cost upon request by writing to Frieda Andreas, Division of State Patrol, P. O. Box 7912, Room 551, Madison, WI 53712, or by calling (608) 266-6936. Alternate formats of the proposed rule will be provided to individuals at their request.
