When it comes to the safety of school children, Maharashtra has set stringent norms to ensure secure and reliable transportation. One such mandate is the VLTD (Vehicle Location Tracking Device) certificate, which is essential for school buses to receive RTO passing. In this blog, we will discuss why this certificate is crucial and how Tracko can make the compliance process hassle-free for schools.

Why is the VLTD Certificate Mandatory in Maharashtra?

The VLTD certificate verifies that a school bus is equipped with an AIS140 GPS device, meeting the government’s safety standards. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) made it mandatory for all commercial and passenger vehicles, including school buses, to have AIS140-compliant GPS devices with live tracking and emergency alert features.

This step ensures that:

1. Real-Time Tracking: Schools and parents can monitor the bus’s location.
2. Emergency Response: The device has an SOS button for emergencies.
3. Government Compliance: Without the VLTD certificate, RTO passing is not granted, which makes the bus unfit for school use.
4. Safety Assurance: Live tracking and route monitoring reduce the chances of accidents and mishaps.

Why is the VLTD Certificate Crucial for RTO Passing?

For a school bus to receive RTO passing in Maharashtra, it must have a valid Vahan certificate proving VLTD compliance. The RTO thoroughly checks whether the vehicle is equipped with an AIS140 GPS device that provides live tracking, route monitoring, and emergency response capabilities.

Without the VLTD certificate, school buses cannot legally operate, risking both compliance issues and the safety of children. Therefore, equipping buses with certified GPS devices is non-negotiable.
