Use of 14-Passenger Busses

Bus Training:

As of July 1, 2002, individuals requesting to drive a 14-passenger bus must be at least 25 years of age and have completed a Van Driver Training Class. This driver training can be completed though the DOT at Madison, WI

This training consists of an all day class, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. A true/false test will be given at the end of the classroom session. It must be passed before the driver can participate in the behind-the-wheel part of the training.

The class is held in the Green/Jefferson conference room at the Wisconsin Department of Transportation District 1 office located at 2101 Wright Street, Madison, WI. Eight students must be registered and confirmed in order for a scheduled class to be held. Applications must be submitted with payment of approximately $100.00. A confirmation letter will be sent to participants at least one week before the scheduled class.

Further details and applications can be found by going to WWW.DOA.STATE.WI.US  then go to training, then to 12-15 Passenger Van Driver Training.

Once the driver training class is completed successfully, submit a copy of the driver certificate to fleet vehicles at UW Oshkosh. Your name will then be added to the authorized driver list.
