JackingIt shall be possible to safely jack up the bus, at curb weight, with a common 10-ton floor jack with or without special adapter, when a tire or dual set is completely flat and the bus is on a level, hard surface, without crawling under any portion of the bus. Jacking from a single point shall permit raising the bus sufficiently high to remove and reinstall a wheel and tire assembly. Jacking pads located on the axle or suspension near the wheels shall permit easy and safe jacking with the flat tire or dual set on a 6 in. high run-up block not wider than a single tire. The bus shall withstand such jacking at any one or any combination of wheel locations without permanent deformation or damage. Default Yellow Pads Jacking pads shall be painted safety yellow.
Decals
Apply decals to identify location of jacking pads. Alternative Alternate Color Pads Jacking pad color to be specified by the Agency.
The vehicle shall be capable of lifting by the wheels, and, as necessary to meet tire load requirements, the proper number for wheel lifts and/or adapters must be used. FloorDesign (Transit Coach)The floor shall be essentially a continuous plane, except at the wheel housings and platforms. Where the floor meets the walls of the bus, as well as other vertical surfaces such as platform risers, the surface edges shall be blended with a circular section of radius not less than ¼ in. or installed in a fully sealed butt joint. Similarly, a molding or cover shall prevent debris accumulation between the floor and wheel housings. The vehicle floor in the area of the entrance and exit doors shall have a lateral slope not exceeding 2degto allow for drainage. Default Bi-Level Floor Design The floor design shall consist of two levels (bi-level construction). Aft of the rear door extending to the rear settee riser, the floor height may be raised to a height no more than 21 in. above the lower level, with equally spaced steps. An increase slope shall be allowed on the upper level, not to exceed 3.5 deg. off the horizontal.
Sloped Floor Design The floor of the bus shall be of a sloped low-floor design. Aft of the rear door extending to the rear settee riser, the floor may be sloped but shall not exceed 5.5 deg. off the horizontal.
Floor Drain A floor drain of noncorrosive materials shall be provided on the bus behind the front, curbside wheelhouse near the wall to help drain any water that may accumulate due to ice, snow, rain, etc. The drain pipe shall be approximately 1½ in. in diameter and shall extend no more than 5 in. below the floor. The drain pipe shall be fitted with a rubber drain spout to minimize or prevent air drafts to the interior of the bus. The strainer shall be firmly retained but also removable to allow flushing of any accumulated debris.
Sloped Floor Slope ahead aft the articulated joint shall not exceed 5.5 percent.

The drain pipe shall be fitted with a rubber drain spout to minimize or prevent air drafts to the interior of the bus. The strainer shall be firmly retained but also removable to allow flushing of any accumulated debris.
The floor deck shall be reinforced as needed to support passenger loads. At GVWR, the floor shall have an elastic deflection of no more than 0.60 in. from the normal plane. The floor shall withstand the application of 2.5 times gross load weight without permanent detrimental deformation. The floor, with coverings applied, shall withstand a static load of at least 150 lbs applied through the flat end of a ½ in. diameter rod, with 1/32 in. radius, without permanent visible deformation.
