				bus or, when such door is absent, to the forward edge of the rearmost seat.
				This aisle shall be no less than 305 mm (12") wide at every location between
				floor covering and the top of each seat cushion and, in a bus manufactured in
				July 1987 or later, shall be no less than 380 mm (15") wide at and above a

				The incomplete vehicle date can be found on the bus' federal certification
				label.
Each school bus will first be equipped with either a rear
				emergency door or a side emergency door and rear emergency window as stated in
				paragraphs (a) and (b).
The following Tables specify the required number of exits
				depending on the vehicle's passenger capacity and emergency exit
				configuration.
a) One rear emergency
			 door that opens outward and is hinged on the right side (either side in the
			 case of a bus with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less), and the additional exits,
			 if any, specified by Table 1.

						  bus.
b) One
			 emergency door on the vehicle's left side that is hinged on its forward side

				of the bus, the exit choice is acceptable.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
This Part is intended to provide minimum standards for
				  constructing and equipping new Type II school buses manufactured for use in
				  Illinois. This Part assumes compliance with applicable Federal Motor Vehicle
				  Safety Standards (FMVSS) ( 49 CFR 571 ), and the Society of Automotive Engineer
				  Standards (SAE), and implements applicable Sections of the Illinois Vehicle
				  Code (the Code) [625 ILCS 5 /Ch. 12, Art. VIII]. In addition, this Part sets
				  forth certain other minimum standards established by the Department, and
				  authorized by Section 12-812 of the Code, to govern aspects not governed by the
				  FMVSS, SAE Standards, or the Code. At the request of school bus owners and
				  operators, a few of the requirements in this Part relate to durability and
				  maintenance of school buses rather than safety.
