A school field trip bus checklist for New Jersey schools.

A checklist for teachers and PTAs booking a field trip bus in New Jersey: headcount, chaperones, timing, accessibility and documents to request.

Danaro 56-passenger coach

A few things to keep in mind.

  • Confirm the headcount of students and chaperones.
  • Set departure and return times around the school day.
  • Share accessibility needs before booking.
  • Request the documentation your school or district requires.

Before you book.

A complete request lets the transportation company recommend the right vehicles and confirm the timing.

  • Number of students and chaperones
  • Destination address and drop-off point
  • Departure and return times
  • Accessibility or medical needs
  • Lead chaperone's phone number
  • Documents your school requires

Coach or Sprinter?

A 56-passenger coach suits a full grade; a 42-passenger coach suits a large class; a Sprinter suits a small group or a club. Several vehicles may be needed for a whole year group.

On the day.

Give each chaperone the pickup point, time and the driver's contact arrangements. Count students on and off at every stop.
