What crashes are on SCHOLASTIC TRANSPORTATION's federal record?
A May 17, 2024 crash in NY is on file — recorded as injury, with 1 person injured.
Why these columns: a crash enters the federal file only when it involved a death, an injury taken for immediate medical care, or a vehicle towed disabled from the scene — the federal reportable-crash threshold. Property-damage-only crashes below that threshold are not in this record.
Who insures SCHOLASTIC TRANSPORTATION vehicles — and for how much?
Liability insurance is the coverage carriers file with federal regulators (the federal category is called "BIPD" — Bodily Injury & Property Damage). The figure below is this carrier's filed limit — a compliance floor, not necessarily the full coverage available.

What these records mean if you were injured
Fleet-wide averages don't decide individual cases. Liability turns on what this specific driver, dispatcher, and vehicle's logs show in the hours before your crash.
SCHOLASTIC TRANSPORTATION vehicles were inspected 14 times in the past two years — 0.0% of them ended with a vehicle ordered out of service; nationally, about 14.5% of vehicle inspections end that way.
$3.5M in liability coverage is on file. The federal minimum for passenger carriers is $1.5M–$5M depending on seating capacity.
In New York, a personal-injury lawsuit must generally be filed within 3 years of the crash.
For the most recent crash on this record, that general window runs to about May 2027.
There are exceptions — which ones apply to your case is a lawyer's job.

This record is attached to your submission — your attorney starts with the evidence already pulled.
Why timing matters
State law may give you years to file a claim — but the evidence often doesn't last that long. Dashcam and onboard data can be overwritten within days. Federal rules require carriers to keep a driver's electronic logs (ELD) for only six months; after that, deletion is lawful. A preservation letter from an attorney puts the carrier on formal notice — destroying evidence after that point risks court sanctions.
