Bus driver safety protects children
Bus driver safety is an essential school subject,
because 24 million children ride school buses every day and drivers are
responsible for their safety. School bus accidents are rare, but 27 children
die every year, so drivers must be properly trained to avoid accidents. Bus
driver safety can be achieved through training that encompasses all phases
of a school bus driver’s job – from safe driving to insuring that every child enters
and exits the bus safely.
