Sec.  1310.15  Operation of vehicles.

    Each agency providing transportation services, either directly or 
through an arrangement with another organization or an individual, to 
children enrolled in its program must ensure that:
    (a) Effective October 1, 2006, on a vehicle equipped for use of such 
devices, any child enrolled in a Head Start or Early Head Start program 
is seated in a child restraint system appropriate to the child's height 
and weight while the vehicle is in motion.
    (b) Baggage and other items transported in the passenger compartment 
are properly stored and secured and the aisles remain clear and the 
doors and emergency exits remain unobstructed at all times.
    (c) Effective June 21, 2004, there is at least one bus monitor on 
board at all times, with additional bus monitors provided as necessary,

option for Head Start and Early Head Start.
    (d) Except for bus monitors who are assisting children, all vehicle 
occupants must be seated and wearing height- and weight- appropriate 
safety restraints while the vehicle is in motion.
