The Fort Bend Independent School District operates more than 470 school buses traveling more than 5 million miles each year. Student safety is our first and utmost priority. Fort Bend ISD Transportation incorporates a preventive maintenance program that consists of fully maintaining each vehicle to manufacturer specifications, as well as meeting or exceeding state and federal inspection requirements.

Fort Bend ISD Transportation’s preventive maintenance program includes the following:

• A daily 20-point safety inspection by the driver
• Scheduled inspection of belts, hoses, and fluid levels
• Defects found as a result of the above inspections will be repaired immediately if safety related; otherwise, defects will be scheduled for repair at the next preventive maintenance inspection.
• Preventive maintenance inspections are performed on each vehicle by an authorized service technician every 5,000 miles or 90 days, whichever comes first.
• Manufacturer recommendations will be followed or exceeded on all scheduled maintenance.
• An annual 230-point bumper-to-bumper vehicle inspection 

In summary, Fort Bend ISD standards for vehicle safety and roadworthiness are high and uncompromising. We pride ourselves in providing our students and staff with the best equipment.
