1 This booklet (compiled April 2015) was produced and distributed by the Ohio School Bus Mechanics Association to aid drivers and mechanics in the event of a mechanical failure when buses are far from the home base. The mechanics listed on these pages are current members of the Ohio School Bus Mechanics Association who wish to participate. The Ohio School Bus Mechanics Association strives to promote safe and efficient pupil transportation in Ohio by distributing a quarterly newsletter (The Mechanics Messenger), providing regional and central workshops to educate mechanics on new technical advances in school bus maintenance and repair, and notifying mechanics of safety bulletins.
