S. 5264 — Bus Operator Safety and Security Act

This section requires that, beginning 2 years after enactment, the operator workstation of any new fixed route bus that is 30 or more feet in length with a useful life of 10 or more years purchased with federal funds (except funds derived from section 5311) must be equipped with a barrier that reaches from the bus floor to the bus ceiling, fully encloses the workstation, prevents the unwanted entry of persons, fluids, and objects, and does not impede the operator’s lines of sight, unless a labor organization representing the plurality of the frontline workforce agrees to waive the requirement.
