Van Driver Pre-trip Inspection Form

It is the responsibility of the driver to complete and document a daily pre-trip inspection of the vehicle before transporting students (OAC 3301-83-19(C)). Further, ORC 4513.02 states “No person shall drive or move or cause or knowingly permit to be driven or moved on any highway any vehicle or combination of vehicles which is in such unsafe condition as to endanger any person.” The intent of this procedure is for the driver to familiarize themselves with the vehicle, its controls and condition, and to assure that the vehicle is in proper condition for the transportation of students.

The pre-trip inspection form for motor van drivers must be completed by each person driving a school van or other authorized school vehicle.  The document must be completed before leaving vehicle storage and before picking up students each day. At the completion of the pre-trip, report all defects in writing in accordance with local policy.
