Contents Introduction Programs for School Vehicle Riders and Caregivers Information and Programs for School Bus Safety Professionals Information and Programs to Promote Enforcement of School Bus Laws ... Acknowledgements Introduction Ontario's school population includes over two million students. Of those, over 800,000 use school buses every day. This includes children who are bused from rural areas and children who participate in special programs, such as French immersion, as well as those who use school buses for field trips. Research conducted by Transport Canada shows that school bus travel is one of the safest methods of transportation and is 16 times safer than travelling in the family car, based on the number of passengers and kilometres travelled. Although school buses have an excellent safety record, mishaps can happen, and injuries can result. These can include both children riding on the bus and children who suffer injuries as a result of being hit by their own school bus or by other vehicles.

When you go near the bus, always, always be sure you can see the bus driver! If you drop anything in the danger zone leave it. Never, never stop to pick it up! Know the Danger Zones Every child must know the DANGER ZONES around the school bus. Children should never enter the DANGER ZONE unless the driver has given them permission. If a child can touch the bus, he or she is too close. If a child must cross the street, know all the rules to cross safely. The 10 Giant Step rule is a good measurement for children to identify the DANGER ZONE around the school bus, particularly when crossing in front of the bus.

They may be tempted to wander or get into mischief. Make sure they know what to do if they miss the bus: come back home; or if at school, report to a teacher - and never, never accept a ride from a stranger. If the stop is a long way from home, plan and discuss with your children where they can go in an emergency. If it is dark on the way to or from the bus, make your children visible. Use retro-reflective tape on their clothing and avoid dark colors. Make sure they wait well away from the roadway, and stay well back until the bus has comes to a full stop and the door opens. Explain they must walk at least three metres (10 feet) away when crossing in front of the bus so the driver can see them. Forbid running, pushing and horseplay! Tell your children to come straight home from the bus no detours.

The School Transportation Century I f the 18 th century is considered the period of school transportation infancy and the 19 th century is the period of the industry's adolescence, the 20 th century saw the evolution of a fully developed, mature industry. The solidifying role of the various disciplines such as construction standards, national minimum standards guidelines, scheduling and routing, federal motor vehicle safety standards, special needs transportation, railroad grade crossing safety, state and federal government involvement, occupant protection and more, have had a profound effect on the industry. Throughout the last 100 years, the industry provided more than an estimated 500 billion student rides as the ranks of students being transported swelled to nearly 55 percent of all K-12 students. As the century drew to a close, the Yellow School Bus has replaced the Little Red Schoolhouse as the symbol of K-12 public education in the United States. There is scant indication that transportation by yellow school bus will diminish during the 21 st century.

About Us Sign our Guest Book Read our Guest Book Picture Gallery ... AshtabulaCounty.Net The purpose of the Ashtabula County School Bus Safety site is to focus on the laws and procedures used by bus drivers in safely transporting students to and from school. Special emphasis will be made to encourage the public as well as students to be aware of and practice these safety laws and procedures. "Signal For Safety" Statistics have proven that school buses are one of the safest forms of transportation. One reason for this is because school bus drivers are thoroughly and properly trained. Another reason is that the school bus minimum construction standards, and annual inspections by the State Highway Patrol, assure that the vehicle is safe. Another little-know fact is this: Most injuries to students happen outside of the bus. That is why we are focusing on "Signal For Safety" The first signal motorists need to be aware of is the flashing yellow light, or amber warning lights. They mean "CAUTION the bus is preparing to stop to pick up or drop off passengers".

Special Thanks For immediate release Contact: Cal LeMon August 31, 2000 "NOT Taking a School Bus is Biggest School-Related Violence Risk" Springfield, Mo .-The single greatest risk to children in the United Sates is not violence inside the school building, but how they get to and from school, an independent safety expert said today in releasing his third annual Report Card on School Bus Safety in the U.S. According to school bus safety advocate Dr. Cal LeMon, "Most parents are under the mistaken impression that there is a huge risk of violence at school when, in fact, that risk pales in comparison to the risk of making the wrong choice in school-related transportation. The big yellow school bus may not be the 'cool' way to get to school, but it's the hands down safest way."

Of the few fatalities that happen each year, most occur in the "danger zone,” the 10-foot area surrounding a bus where the bus driver and other drivers are unable to see children. DO NOT pass a school bus until the red lights and signals are turned off. ALWAYS stop when traveling in the same direction as the bus.
