The main purpose of this legislation, known as the Bus Operator Safety and Security Act, is to enhance the safety and security of bus operators working on fixed route buses. The act aims to establish specific requirements for the design of operator workstations in these buses to better protect drivers from potential threats and hazards while they are on duty. Key provisions of the act include a mandate that any new fixed route bus that is 30 feet or longer and has a useful life of at least 10 years must have an operator workstation equipped with a protective barrier.
