Do charter buses have seat belts?

My daughter’s school is taking her class to a museum a few hours away in a charter bus. Our family was in a car accident recently, so we’re all really careful about remembering to wear our seat belts. Do charter buses have seat belts?

It’s always a good idea to use a seat belt—no matter what type of vehicle you’re in! Thanks to regulations mandated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, any bus manufactured in 2016 or later must be equipped with functioning lap-shoulder safety belts.
There are no laws requiring passengers to wear seat belts while on a bus, but they are available for safety-conscious riders.
