Less traffic, cleaner air and more affordable transportation—these are just some of the benefits that the school bus provides. And since the school bus is the safest way to travel to and from school, it’s hard to find a reason to send children to school any other way. Yet there are many people who still don’t know how safe the school bus is, or how important it is to communities. So American School Bus Council created material to inform communities about the safety statistics and benefits of the school bus, and to help them spread the word.
