The Pupil Transportation Section of the Tennessee Highway Patrol is responsible for ensuring the safe transportation of school children to and from school and related activities. With approximately 9,500 school buses under inspection, they conduct mandatory driver safety training and regular inspections to ensure proper maintenance and adherence to safety standards.
State troopers and civilian personnel assigned to the eight Tennessee Highway Patrol Districts carry out the inspections and random checks, conducting an average of approximately 17,000 bus inspections annually. The section has implemented the PAAMS inspection system, which combines inspections and child care, and requires electronic submission of bus information for approval and extended utilization.
