School Bus Driver Endorsement Forms

School Bus Operator’s Endorsement Form ( 331 KB)
Once a new school bus driver has successfully completed all Manitoba Public Insurance requirements and Manitoba Education and Early Childhood Learning's mandatory 24 hours of school bus operator instruction, a School Bus Operator’s Endorsement Form is submitted to the Pupil Transportation Unit who will issue a School Bus Operator’s Certificate to the new driver. The Endorsement Form requires the signatures of both a school division’s Transportation Supervisor AND the certified School Bus Driver Instructor*.

School Bus Driver Consent Form ( 30 KB)
In conjunction with submitting the Endorsement Form to apply for the School Bus Operator’s Certificate, a School Bus Driver Consent Form must be signed by all new school bus drivers.  This consent authorizes Driver and Vehicle Licensing, Manitoba Public Insurance to provide the Pupil Transportation Unit with personal information regarding their Manitoba driver’s licence, should it be necessary.

NOTE: WHEN ENDORSING A NEW SCHOOL BUS DRIVER, BOTH OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE PUPIL TRANSPORTATION UNIT BEFORE A SCHOOL BUS OPERATOR’S CERTIFICATE WILL BE ISSUED.
