What does 49 CFR 392.63 (Towing or pushing loaded buses) require?

Generated guidance. Confirm the source and its applicability before you act. How we check sources.

As your fleet-compliance assistant, here is what is required under 49 CFR 392.63:

* You must not tow or push a disabled bus if there are passengers on board.

* You must not use a bus with passengers on board to tow or push any disabled motor vehicle.

The Only Exception:

You may tow or push a bus with passengers (or use a loaded bus to tow/push a disabled vehicle) only if following the rules above would actually increase the danger to the passengers. Even in that situation, you may only travel as far as the nearest location where the passengers' safety can be assured.
