A daily pre-trip inspection checklist for school bus drivers to complete before the first route of each day. Covers the exterior walk-around (tyres, lights, mirrors, body), engine compartment, interior safety (seats, aisle, emergency exits), brake test, and emergency equipment verification.

School buses carry the most precious cargo. A thorough pre-trip inspection catches the flat tyre, burnt-out stop arm, or seized emergency door before children board — and creates the documented record that transport supervisors and inspectors review.

This checklist template is provided as a general-purpose resource and is not tailored to the regulatory requirements of any specific country, region, or jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of each organisation to review and adapt this template to ensure compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations.
