206-2 Wyo. Code R. § 2-8
(a) There are some features that, while good, may not be needed on every school bus in Wyoming. Activity buses may need options that route buses do not and route buses vary due to the terrain they are operated on. In an effort to supply a safe bus in different
circumstances, the following options are approved for use with reimbursement by the state:
* Air conditioning
* Air suspension
* Automatic tire chains
* Auxiliary heaters
* Bookracks
* Crossing arms (other than Type C)
* Engine Block Heater
* Flat floor (Special Needs Bus)
* Fuel door lock
* Heated steps
* Passenger reading lights
* Public address system
* Radiator shutters
* Rear air deflector
* Retarder
* Strobe light
* Tachometer (Type A, B buses)
* Thermo glass (additional)
* Transmission temperature gauge (Type A and B buses)
* Tinted windows
* Vandal Locks
* Under bus storage
In order to qualify for state reimbursement, a district must request and receive approval to purchase the options before a bus is ordered. In the event state reimbursement is denied, a district can still order the option, but must pay for it themselves.
Districts shall use an approved form to request the option and provide justification for the need for the option. The Department of Education will respond to the request within three weeks of receiving the request.
There are countless other options available from the various bus manufacturers. Districts are free to order and pay for any option that meets applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and is offered as an option by the original vehicle manufacturer.
