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.
