Parking Airbrake Buses on Inclines The following procedures will be used whenever a bus equipped with airbrakes is parked on an incline: Depending which way the bus is parked the wheels will be turned in the proper direction: Downhill—wheels turned towards the curb Uphill—wheels turned towards the street After the cool down period and the engine has been turned off, bleed the brakes down until the ‘spring brake’ activates. This activates the ‘spring brake’ and prevents the bus from rolling should the parking/emergency brake be accidentally released. Emergency On-Board Procedure If you must miss a bus stop because of an unsafe condition: Make sure you notify the CEC Network Transportation Coordinator of your actions as soon as possible. All Medical Issues: Call CEC Network Transportation Coordinator; tell him/her you have a medical emergency on the bus. Driver involved in an Accident: Call CEC Network Transportation Coordinator and report the accident after calling 911. Hostage or weapon on the bus with intent to use: Call 911 via cell phone and report immediately. If it is unsafe to return to the school with/without students, you will be directed by the CEC Network Transportation Coordinator to a staging area until it is safe to return. Cell Phones/Ear Phones Personal cell phones will not be used while operating the bus. While students are on the bus your cell phone will be placed on silent mode or turned off completely. No speaker devices for phones, radios, walk men, etc. shall be in the driver’s ear while operating the bus. (CDE, 4204-R-232.00) Tornado Warning
