Campaign to Achieve Zero School Transportation Fatalities by 2025
The deadly crash last Friday involving a train and school bus in Athens, TX was yet another stark reminder that the work we do is important and there can be grave consequences out on the road, even on routine days when the unexpected can happen. The margin of error is extraordinarily small, so the need for vigilance must be high at all times.

Collaborating to End Illegal Passing Fatalities
The inordinate number of student pedestrian fatalities in the last few months has brought the problem of cars and light trucks illegally passing stopped school buses to national attention.

Back to Basics: Partners in Student Safety In and Around the School Bus
The 2018-19 school year has not started out in the most favorable way for students and their families across our nation. Unofficial data derived through media outlets have identified 12 student fatalities that occurred while loading or unloading our school buses. One happened in August, one happened in September, eight students lost their lives in October, and two students lost their lives in November of 2018. These are sobering statistics and we grieve for the families who lost their children.

Cars That Illegally Pass a Stopped School Bus: What do you think?
As a community of people dedicated to the safe transportation of more than 26 million children to and from school, we are astounded by the number of cars that illegally pass stopped school buses each day. Illegal passing is defined as at least one motorist passing a school bus with its federally mandated stop arm deployed and red lights flashing when picking up or dropping off students.
