To ensure safe and efficient operation of public school buses in Arkansas, the Division of Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation has promulgated rules governing maintenance and operation of public school buses and physical examinations of school bus drivers. These rules may be downloaded from the arkansasfacilities.com web site.
