While the use of 15-passenger vans has strongly been discouraged, new guidelines have since been released. Fifteen-passenger vans from model year 2013 or newer are no longer prohibited by NAD working policy, however fifteen-passenger vans from model years prior to 2013 are still prohibited. There is additional focus on the risks associated with any large passenger van and the steps that can be taken to address those risks. Please review this new resource which outlines policy changes and what you need to know for transportation safety as it relates to your ministry.
