    Today's school buses are built with safety in mind.  They are tougher, cleaner and more diligently maintained than ever before.  School bus drivers are required to receive special security and medical training, and undergo regular drug and alcohol testing to provide a safe ride for your child.  School bus traffic laws are strictly enforced.  Find out what you don’t know about school bus ridership.  Learn the facts and play it safe.

    Students are about 50 times more likely to arrive at school alive if they take the bus than if they drive themselves or ride with friends.      But did you also know that your child is much safer riding the bus than being driven by you?  Add in the environmental and financial benefits, and it’s hard to find a reason to send your kids to school any other way.

    bus stop icon Imagine a world with less traffic, cleaner air, and more affordable transportation.  These are just some of the benefits that school bus ridership provides.  While school buses are one of the safest ways to send your kids to school, there are many good reasons that make them a growing choice among parents for their children’s school commute.  Find out what you don’t know about school bus ridership.  Learn the facts and play it safe.  Visit schoolbusfacts.com for more information.
