Multi Function School Activity Bus

COLLINS MULTI FUNCTION SCHOOL ACTIVITY BUS (MFSAB)
You need a safe alternative to non-conforming van transportation. As the leader in the small school bus industry. Collins builds every certified bus from the chassis up, engineering safety into every square inch, while meeting all federal safety standards. And though our relationship with The Salvation Army, you'll be surprised how little price difference there is between a non-conforming van and the Collins Multi Function School Activity Bus (MFSAB)

SCHOOL BUS SAFETY AND FEATURES - VAN MANEUVERABILITY AND CONVENIENCE
Available in a variety of models and floor plans, all of the Collins MFSABs offer a reinforced, galvanized steel body, for protection in both head-on and side-impact collisions. They also offer a smoother, sturdier ride, for added comfort and safety.

FMVSS SCHOOL BUS CERTIFIED SEATS WITH SEAT BELTS
Passenger seat frames are mounted to the floor and a continuous wall seat rail runs the entire length of the wall. Strong steel seat frames form an integrated structure between floor, seat, and wall. The school bus certified seats provide a padded compartment around occupants and emergency-absorbing seat backs protect passengers in a forward or rearward collision. All seats include lap belts and are rated for a 5000# force.

REAR EMERGENCY DOOR
The rear emergency door is 35" x 55" galvanized frame construction. The door has a large viewing area. Over 600 square inches.

FMVSS CERTIFIED BODY STRUCTURE
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Certification establishes requirements for school bus body structure in rollover accidents and regulates the strength of body panel joints in school buses. These standards have been incorporated into these MFSAB models.

LARGE SIDE PORTHOLE AND SAFETY MIRROR SYSTEM
The large side porthole offers increased drive view and the FMVSS certified safety mirror system provides rear view and cross view visibility.

DRIVER FRIENDLY
With all of its enhanced safety and comfort, under most state laws, anyone with a regular driver's license can operate a Collins MFSAB as long as it doesn't seat more than 14 passengers. You get all the safety of a small school bus, while avoiding the added expense of hiring additional commercial drivers.

CRASH RAILS & RUB RAILS
Heavy gage steel crash rails are located below seat level and are integrated within the wall structure. Structural steel rubrails at floor, seat and window levels strengthen side walls. Rubrails wrap around and reinforce the rear corner of the bus also.

THE PRICE OF SAFETY
Perhaps the biggest surprise is how little price difference there is between a non-conforming van and a Collins MFSAB. The Collins MFSAB costs about 10% more than a van, but the advantages far outweigh the expense. That's because Collins MFSAB life expectance is substantially longer than a van, giving you additional service life and the peace of mind knowing you're giving your members the safest ride possible.

WHY COLLINS?
A Collins MFSAB complies with school bus Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards relative to construction, vehicle crash integrity, occupant seating crash protection, and drive visibility. Also, Collins Industries, Inc. has been the leading small school bus provider in the industry for over 25 years. In fact, we invented the first small bus under 10,000# GVWR. Best of all, the Collins MFSAB meets all National Transportation Safety Board highway safety requirements. We believe choosing the Collins MFSAB is one of the safest and best decisions you could ever make.
