TRACK MOUNTED PASSENGER SEATS
If your bus is equipped track mounted passenger seats and you relocate the seats or remove the seats to
accommodate wheelchairs, you must follow rules of spacing and placement to comply with FMVSS 222
"School Bus Passenger Seating and Crash Protection" and FMVSS 217 "Bus Window Retention and Release".
The decal (as shown) which gives these rules is installed on the interior body panel above the windshield.
All passenger seats must have a seat or barrier in front of it to provide compartmentalization required by
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. As you reconfigure your bus, you may need additional barriers.
Barriers are available from Blue Bird Body Company Part Sales.
