This study quantitatively reviews publicly available state policies as they relate to the transportation of wheelchair-seated students in school buses. Inclusion of best practices in specially equipped school bus and driver training policies was assessed. Key points of interest within state policies were identified based on site visits, common policies among state documents, and frequently cited best practices. Study results indicated that most states have partially or completely incorporated the National Congress on School Transportation (NCST) guidelines, a comprehensive document that provides guidance on safe pupil transportation. State policies more frequently reflect NCST guidelines for bus specifications than for driver training directives, and infrequently address specific driver training for special needs transportation.
