Bus Safety

Fact: School Buses Are the Safest Way to Get to School 

According to the American School Bus Council, students are about 70x more likely to get to school safely if they take the school bus instead of traveling by car.

"Keeping children safe is the priority of school transportation. When parents put their children on the bus, they’re trusting that their children will return to them safe and sound. And every school day, the Yellow School Bus repays that trust over and over again. Simply put, the Yellow School Bus is the safest way to get to school."
