School Bus Safety Week is only in October, but it's ALWAYS a good time to share the following short message explaining how and why school buses so safe.

As you know, school buses are held to a far higher standard of safety than any other forms of transportation. If multiple students are killed or injured in a car going to school, it only makes local news. There are 700 students killed each year getting to and from school without the protection of a school bus. 

However, if one child is killed in or around a school bus, it makes national news for days. Due to school busing being so safe, there are very few such tragedies. However, because of the national news, people only get to see what goes wrong, even though this is very rare. They do not see the fantastic safe job that school busing provides. This video was created in an effort to share the tremendous job that is done in safely transporting students.
