An exclusive vehicle work shop takes care of the maintenance of school buses including air-conditioning in the bus. All safety equipment, as specified, is being provided inside the bus [Fire extinguishers, first aid box etc.] The Bus staff are given training on a continuous basis to reinforce the importance of the students’ safety while they are in the school buses, for example, the importance of wearing seat belt while the bus is on the move. A daily attendance sheet is maintained in the bus with students’ details and parents’ contact numbers in it.

Bus movement in the campus is strictly monitored with the help of the transport supervisor and support staff. The Transport Executive is responsible for training and day to day monitoring of the duties of the support staff. DPS-MIS has a school bus policy and a field trip policy; a ready reckoner detailing the objectives and responsibilities while the students are in the bus and while on a field trip. Arrival, Dispersal etc. are monitored and the school has given high priority on safety and security of the children in the buses and in campus.
