INDIANAPOLIS — Many students in Indiana are heading back to school to start their fall semesters this week.
With more students heading to class, Indiana State Police is busy making sure school buses are ready to hit the road.
Police have an online database for bus inspection results. Parents can actually look up which bus their student rides to see the inspection report.
"We are looking for anything safety-related to the operation of the vehicle to make sure those buses are on the road and that they are operating properly and safely to get our kiddos from point A to point B," ISP Sgt. Brian Walker said.
All you have to do to use the database is select what county you live in, your school district and your child's bus number. You'll be able to see how long the bus has been in operation, if it has been in a crash and if the bus has failed an inspection.
"If you are concerned, it's a great way to be informed," Walker said.
