🚌 School Bus (S) — additional New Jersey requirements
Beyond the federal CDL School Bus knowledge + skills test, this state adds its own school-bus driver credential. (Practice here covers the knowledge test only.)
- Administering agency
- New Jersey MVC, with the NJ Department of Education
- State credential
- New Jersey requires a CDL with a school-bus (S) endorsement; S-endorsement holders must submit a New Jersey Medical Examination Form in addition to the Federal Medical Examiner's Certificate.
- Renewal / in-service
- Training for drivers and aides must be completed twice per year; S-endorsement holders aged 70-74 take an annual state medical exam, and those 75+ every 6 months.
- Other prerequisites
- Be at least 21 with three years of driving experience; complete the federal Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT); clear a federal background check and a state criminal background investigation; and present the Department of Education's Applicant Approval Employment History document.
Languages, fees and rules change — confirm with the official source linked for each state. 待核 / 'To confirm' = not yet confirmed from an official source (shown honestly, never guessed). The 2025 federal English-Language-Proficiency action is roadside out-of-service enforcement, not a state test-language mandate; states set their own written-test languages (Texas and Florida moved to English-only in 2026).
