School Bus Safety School Bus Safety School bus transportation is safe. In fact, buses are safer than cars! Even so, last year approximately 26 students were killed and another 9,000 were injured in incidents involving buses. More often than not, these deaths and injuries didn’t occur in a crash, but as the students were entering and exiting the bus. Take a little time to check out some important rules you should know about school bus safety. At the Bus Stop... Be sure to get to the bus stop in plenty of time. Five minutes before the bus comes is plenty of time to talk with your friends and be there in time for the bus. If you leave too late, you will have to rush. It is much easier to trip and fall when you are rushing. Behave yourself at the bus stop. You won’t be safe from traffic unless you stand way back from the curb, and don’t push or wrestle with your friends. Line up nicely when the bus comes. Be sure to listen to any adults supervising at the bus stop. It’s OK to tell a parent or a bus driver if someone is bothering you at the bus stop or while you’re on the school bus. We can only help if we know. Getting on or off the Bus...

School Bus Safety Tips School Bus Safety Talking Points Statistics School buses are the safest form of highway transportation. There are about 440,000 public school buses that travel approximately 5 billion miles each year. Each day school buses carry around 20 million students to school and school-related events. (Accident Facts 1996, National Safety Council) In 1996, 10 school bus occupants were killed in crashes (2 drivers, 8 passengers). In 1996, 23 pedestrians were killed in school bus-related crashes. About two-thirds of school bus-related fatalities happen outside the bus. For the past 11 years, an average of 35 school-age children died in school bus-related traffic crashes each year (9 school bus occupants and 26 pedestrians). Recent studies in Florida and Illinois found almost 10,000 incidents (per day per state) of motorists illegally passing stopped school buses that were loading or unloading children. In Florida, 4.4 percent of the vehicles passed the school bus on the door side of the bus. Why No Safety Belts?

Parents Make sure your child knows what time the bus is scheduled to arrive and make sure he or she gets to the stop early, so the child can avoid rushing. Children in a rush are less likely to follow safety practices. Children Wait for the bus in a safe place. Avoid horseplay that could cause you to fall into the street. Never run to or from the bus.

Two dozen district employees are now manning a brand new call center for school bus questions that's designed to help eliminate the communication problems that played a part in two deadly accidents last year. In each case, kids were forced to cross busy streets to get home because they were dropped off on the wrong side of the road; Rebecca McKinney and Brooke Ingoldsby never made it. Rebecca McKinney's mother says she called the district and complained about the stop's location for weeks before the accident, but she claims no one listened. Now, however, the district says they are listening to everyone. The center is designed to handle any transportation question, and already it's been averaging 1,100 calls per day. One operator told Action News that, among his calls, he had already gotten a handful of complaints from parents about the safety of their kids' stops; each concern will be checked and double-checked.

Bus Safety A Handout for Parents and Teachers by Henry J. Srednicki, Ph.D., NCSP East Rutherford, NJ Background Approximately 400,000 yellow school buses serve elementary and high school students in the United States. In all, about 22.5 million school-age children ride yellow school buses to and from school. After-school activities provide an estimated 5 million additional student rides on a daily basis. It is also estimated by the American Public Transit Association that public transportation provides an additional 900 million student rides per year. You may also be surprised to learn that this makes school transportation the single largest system of public transportation in the United States, resulting in over 94.2 billion total pupil-passenger miles per year. Most of us recall one incident or another whereby a student was harmed from some avoidable mishap that occurred while riding or walking to the school bus. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an average of 41 school-age children are killed in school bus-related traffic accidents each year. During the past ten years, 300 school-age pedestrians (less than 19 years old) have died in school-bus related crashes. Numerous injuries also have occurred when riding, boarding or unloading from a school bus.
