Every weekday morning millions of parents place their most precious asset - their children - on to a school bus, entrusting their safety to not only the school bus driver, but to the federal and state agencies that govern the safe manufacture and operation of school buses.

Even without the use of seat belts, school buses are the safest method of transporting children safely to school, resulting in fewer injuries and death than driving in a car, walking or biking to school. Parents can send their children off to school each morning knowing they are in safe hands.
