- When Is It Necessary to Competitively Bid a Pupil Transportation Contract?
Is advertising allowed on school buses? No, unless operating in a city with a population of one million or more. Chapter 415 created Vehicle and Traffic Law section 375(21-h), which provides that:
21-h. It shall be unlawful for any motor vehicle having a seating capacity of more than seven passengers, and used primarily to transport pupils or pupils and teachers to and from school to be mounted with, or have placed or installed thereon any sign, placard or other display except as provided by law. Provided, however, that the provisions of this subdivision shall not apply to such motor vehicles operating in a city with a population of one million or more.
- Beginning on Jan. 1, 2021, the standard mileage rates for the use of a car (also vans, pickups or panel trucks) will be 56 cents per mile driven for business use.
