The safest form of transportation in the United States for school children is the yellow school bus.
Consider some facts:
- More than 700 school age children are killed each year during school hours, according to the US Department of Transportation (USDOT).
- According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (see full report NHTSA), school buses are 70 times safer to travel to and from school than all other forms of getting to school. This includes bicycling, walking or driving in a personal vehicle.
