MVTA Honored for Five Years of Perfect Inspections

For the fifth consecutive year, the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) in Burnsville, MN, passed its annual bus fleet inspection by ­Minnesota DOT with zero deficiencies.

Each year the Minnesota State Patrol’s Commercial Vehicle Department inspects the 128 buses in the MVTA fleet to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, bus registration, and insurance requirements. Vehicles are either approved for in-service operation if everything is in compliance or “downed” if something is wrong. The inspection is either a pass or fail.

“We don’t know what DOT will inspect from year-to-year,” said MVTA Fleet Maintenance Manager Glenn Boden. “In order to pass inspection, all systems have to be operating as manufactured.”
