Is your child safe on a school bus?

Is it safe to put your child on that big yellow bus without seatbelts? Yes. 

Statistically, your child is 20 times safer riding to school on that bus than in your car. And older students are 50 times more likely to arrive at school alive on a school bus than in a friend’s car or driving themselves. 

School buses are designed to protect the children on board like little eggs in a carton. The size and color of the buses make them more visible than anything you drive. Each high-back seat is like a padded compartment to protect the passengers from impact. Other lights and safety features in and on that school bus help to ensure your little eggs will get to school uncracked, as long as they follow the rules on board and at the bus stop.
